Halloween

​​Halloween

​Halloween, also known as All Hallows' Eve or All Saints' Eve, is a fun and spooky holiday celebrated on the last day of October, every year. The date is the 31st of October.

​

​On this holiday, you can dress up as a superhero, a prince or princess, a witch or warlock, or even as your favourite animal. You can make your own costume or you can get one in a store.

​On Halloween, you can also make a Jack-O-Lantern. This is usually a pumpkin with a silly or scary face carved into it. There are other decorations; like bats, black cats, skeletons, tombstones and spiders!

​

​Most children go trick-or-treating. You go from house to house in a costume. When someone opens the door you say, "Trick or treat!"

​The person who opens the door will give you chocolate, sweets, or even candied apples. ​Yum! But don't take too many!

​

On Halloween, you can also go to a haunted house, play pranks (tricks), go to a Halloween costume party or tell scary stories! Boo!

​

​Happy Halloween!
