A Holiday in October

• Halloween is
celebrated on
October 31st.

• Many other
countries in Europe
and around the
world celebrate
Halloween
• Halloween
comes from the
Celtic tradition.
They believed
the spirits of
dead people
come alive!
• Many families carve pumpkins together.
They cut a face in the pumpkin with a
knife. They put a candle in the pumpkin
to make it light up.
• This is called a Jack-o-lantern.
They put the Jack-o-lantern in a
window so everybody can see it.
• Many people
also dress up in
costumes.

• Costumes can
be scary or
funny.
Children go to every house
and “knock” on the doors
and scream, “TRICK OR
TREAT!”
Sometimes they say;

TRICK OR TREAT
SMELL MY FEET
GIVE ME SOMETHING
GOOD TO EAT!

They get candies from

each
House or apartment!
The children then
receive candy.
But… There are also TRICKS!
For some kids, Halloween is a
night of destruction.
 One trick is called…
T-P’ing a house.
This is when kids buy a lot of toilet paper
and they throw it in the trees of a house.

 Bobbing for Apples
Is a game where you can’t use your
hands.
You have to use your mouth to grab an
apple.
The apples are floating inside a large
bucket with water.
