Many children and adults go to Halloween parties wearing scary costumes and masks. Some typical Halloween costumes are witches, ghosts, skeletons, monsters and vampires. In the afternoon the children put on their costumes and have a Halloween party at school. Pumpkins, ghosts, witches and bats decorate the school hall and the classrooms. It is a popular tradition in the USA to buy a big pumpkin and make a jack-o’-lantern. Put their jack-o’-lanterns in front of the windows of their homes or in their gardens.

They visit their neighbors’ houses in their costumes; when the door opens they say “trick-or-treat.” People usually give them sweets or money, but 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.
