HALLOWEEN

Be careful on the night of 31 October! This is when witches and ghosts come out! Children make lanterns out of pumpkins. They dress up in white sheets and masks and have parties. Sometimes, they go to people’s houses and knock on the door, and shout “trick or treat!”

People give the children treats – usually some sweets or chocolate. If not, the children play a trick on them. For example, they might draw a funny picture on the person’s door, or throw an egg at their window!
