Happy Halloween, everyone! Halloween is a creepy, crawly holiday. We dress up and we go get our candy. Read on to discover even more about Halloween customs, its origins, tips for having the best Halloween safety advice for a night of safe and happy fun Halloween games to celebrate this unique day!
Halloween is observed every October 31. This is the origin of Halloween. It originated from Celtic pagan celebrations where bonfires were lit and costumes were worn to scare off ghosts. Today Halloween has evolved into a day we get dressed up, carve pumpkins into jack-o’-lanterns, and go trick-or-treating to collect candy.
Dressing up in costume is one of the best things about Halloween! You could become a scary ghost, a pirate, a wizard with special powers or a little pumpkin. The choices are endless! Imagine what kind of a costume would express who you are. Oh, and don’t forget to include all the fun stuff, like wands, hats or masks to complete your look!
While trick or treating, we must be safe. Never walk alone, always walk with a group or a responsible adult. Stick to well-lit streets and only approach houses with their lights on. Wear some clothes that reflect light, or even glow-sticks in your costume so drivers can spot you. And don’t forget, only eat wrapped and sealed candies to stay safe!
And Halloween is also a time to dabble in scary stuff. Ghost stories and haunted houses can be a lot of fun if you like to be scared! Some folks think that the line between the living and the dead grows thin on Halloween night. The conditions are perfect to listen to stories or to go on ghost hunts. And be sure to have fun and stay safe in your searching!
