What are the activities for Halloween?

Halloween activities include knocking on the door for candy, "apple biting" games and jumping games.

1, knock on the door for candy

Halloween night is the most haunted time of the year. The custom that night was that the children knocked on the door with pumpkin lanterns and dressed in all kinds of costumes that imitated monsters and ghosts, shouting: TrickorTreat! Trick or treat), the host's family (who may also wear scary clothes) will give some candy, chocolate or small gifts; If you don't give candy, the children will play all kinds of practical jokes, such as taking out the garbage in your house and so on.

2. "bite the apple" game

Another custom of Halloween is the most popular "apple biting" game. In the game, people let the apples float in a basin filled with water, and then let the participants bite the apples with their mouths instead of their hands. Whoever bites first wins.

3. Zhanpu Game

In Ireland, there is a traditional divination game in which participants blindfold and choose one from the table. For example, if the touched disk contains dirt, it means that people related to the participants will die in the coming year. For example, if there is water, it means that they will travel far, if there are coins, it means that they will be rich, and if there are beans, it means that they will be poor. In Ireland in the19th century, girls would put slugs on a plate sprinkled with flour, and the traces of slugs crawling would be like the girl's future husband.

Halloween holiday customs:

Halloween is the most haunted time of the year, and all kinds of monsters, pirates, alien visitors and witches are out in succession. Before the Christian era, the Celts held a ceremony in late summer to thank God and the sun for their kindness. At that time, fortune tellers lit and practiced witchcraft to drive away monsters who were said to be wandering around.

Later, the harvest festival celebrated by the Romans with nuts and apples merged with Celtic 10 and 3 1. In the Middle Ages, people put on costumes in the shape of animals and put on terrible masks to drive away ghosts in the dark. Although Christianity later replaced the religious activities of Celts and Romans, the early customs still existed.

Children wear all kinds of costumes and masks to attend the Halloween dance with a playful attitude. Witches, black cats, ghosts and bones are often hung on the walls around these dances, and grinning or disgusting pumpkin lanterns are hung on the windows and doors.
