Trick or treat?

Halloween is just around the corner.  Do you know how this holiday is celebrated?


1. Go trick-or-treating: Many children go trick-or-treating on Halloween.  They dress up in costumes and knock on people's doors asking for candy.  They say "trick-or-treat" as a threat that they will play a trick if they do not receive any candy.




2. Carve pumpkins: People cut the top of the pumpkin and empty it.  Then they carve a face on the pumpkin.  Finally, they place a candle or light inside so that light can be seen through the eyes, nose, and mouth.  This is called a jack o'lantern.

3. Go bobbing for apples: This is a popular Halloween game.  Apples are placed in a bucket of water.  They float.  People try to pick up the apples with their teeth, without using their hands.  Not easy!


4. Visit a haunted house: People often visit amusement parks that have haunted houses for Halloween. These are houses which are believed to have ghosts in them.  People walk through the dark houses and usually get very scared!

5. Eat candy corn: the most popular candy of Halloween! Warning: Extremely sweet!!
Happy Halloween!!
