What activities are there on Halloween?

1. Knock on doors and ask for candy. Halloween is the hottest time of the year. The custom that night is for children to carry jack-o-lanterns and wear various costumes imitating monsters and ghosts, knocking on doors and shouting: "Trick"

or Treat!” (meaning to make trouble without a treat), the host (who may also be wearing a costume) will give out some candy, chocolate or small gifts; if no candy is given, the children will play various tricks, such as

Take the trash into your home and so on.

2. "Bite the Apple" Game Another Halloween custom is the most popular "Bite the Apple" game.

During the game, people let the apple float in a basin filled with water, and then asked the participants to bite the apple with their mouths without using their hands. Whoever bites the apple first is the winner.

3. Divination game In Ireland, there is a traditional divination game. Participants are blindfolded and choose one of several small plates on the table. If the plate they touch is filled with soil, it means that there will be someone with the participant in the coming year.

If the person involved has passed away, if it is filled with water, it means traveling far away, if it is filled with coins, it means getting rich, if it is filled with beans, it means being poor, etc.

In Ireland in the 19th century, girls would put slugs on a plate sprinkled with flour, and the traces of the slugs would indicate the appearance of the girl's future husband.

4. Carnival of Humans and Ghosts. New York City also holds a special parade on Halloween night, where a group of vampires, Frankenstein, etc. are all present. Citizens are also welcome to visit, and attendees are regardless of age, gender, class, or nationality.

If you are, you can also join them for a lively carnival of humans and ghosts.

In fact, these ghosts are all dressed up by people, so they are not scary. On the contrary, some of the faces are very cute, making you feel like you are attending a large masquerade party.

5. Making Jack-O-Lanterns (Jack-O-Lanterns) Pumpkin lanterns are the most important symbol of Halloween and originated in Ireland.

The legend goes like this: There was a man named Jack who was very stingy and was expelled from heaven by God. However, he was expelled from hell for playing tricks on Satan and was punished to carry a lantern to light the way and walk on earth forever.

In Ireland, lanterns are made from hollowed-out large potatoes and turnips, with very thin candles burning in the center.
