Halloween is celebrated in Ukraine.

American children take their costumes and masks to school.

Some typical Halloween costumes are skeletones, whitches, vampires and aliens.

Many parents buy the costumes for their children only some of them prefer making them.

In the afternoon children usually have Halloween parties.

One of the most popular games is " Bobbing for Apples". To play this game you put water and apples in a big bowl. The apples stay on top of the water. You must take an apple out of the water with your teeth but you can ’t use your hands. 

Nowadays Jack-o-Lanterns are made from apples.

In the past people wanted to frighten evil spirits but they didn't use pumpkins. This tradition originated in Great Britain and Ireland.

Trick-or-treating is an Irish tradition.Children visit their neighbours’ houses in their costumes. When the door opens they say ‘Trick or treat?’ People usually give them sweets or money.

When people don’t give them a treat, the children play a trick. They sometimes write on windows with soap or even throw an egg at the front door of the house.

Halloween is just for children.

Many teenagers and adults wear costumes and go to parties on Halloween night.
