Trick or Treat: The Halloween Tradition

Halloween is a spooky and fun holiday celebrated on October 31st. Kids and adults dress up in costumes and go trick-or-treating. Let’s learn more about this fun tradition!

One of the best parts of Halloween is creating a spooky costume. You can be a superhero, a friendly witch, a spooky ghost, or anything you like! People dress up to look different and have fun. Some costumes are funny, and some are scary, but they’re all creative.

On Halloween evening, children put on their costumes and grab a bag or a bucket. Then, they visit houses in their neighborhood. They knock on the door and say, “Trick or treat!” This is like a magic spell that means they want candies and treats. People at the house give them chocolates, sweet candies, or lollipops. It’s like a sweet treasure hunt!

By the end of the night, kids have bags full of delicious candies. Halloween is the only night when you can go from house to house, say “Trick or treat,” and get treats from your neighbors. It’s a night of magic and candy surprises! When you see kids in costumes, don’t forget to have some candies ready. You’ll make their Halloween extra special with your treats.
