It's Hallowe'en!

The night of October 31st is a very special time for witches and ghosts - it's Hallowe'en. On that night, ghosts and witches are free to be on Earth. Well, that's the traditional story. These days, Hallowe'en isn't really a frightening festival - it's fun!

At Hallowe'en we have jack-0'-lanterns (a pumpkin with a light in it) that frighten witches and ghosts.

In America, boys and girls wear costumes, visit houses and say "Trick or treat?". People give children a "treat" (sweets) and if they refuse the "Trick-or-Treaters" play a trick on them. As children ask for treats, they recite Hallowe'en rhymes:

Trick or treat

Smell my feet

Give me something

good to eat!

Have a great Hallowe'en and sing this song along!
