Halloween is a holiday celebrated with trick-or-treating for children, carving jack-o-lanterns from pumpkins, and parties for adults. Young children go door-to-door saying a rhyme to receive treats, while adults play games like identifying body parts in a mystery box or visiting graveyards at night according to superstitious traditions.

give children candy OR if you give them a
healthy snack like an apple instead of sweets,
your house may be a target for a trick!

4. Carving pumpkins
• A carved pumpkin with a light inside is called a
Jack O’Lantern

5. Halloween Parties
Because adults can’t go trick or treating, we have halloween parties

6. Games we play
• A mystery box is a
game where you must
identify different body
parts without looking
in the bag.
*things like brains, eyes,
guts, fingers, blood,
etc.

In this game you must go to a cemetery in the
middle of the night and stick a knife in a new
grave.

graveyard tonight!

spirit.

who fought during a war.
