The main Halloween activity for children is trick-or-treating. Children dress in costumes and masks and go from door to door saying "trick or treat". The neighbors give children such treats as candies, fruit and pennies so that children do not play tricks on them.

Fortunetelling is an important part of Halloween . For example, a coin, a ring, and a thimble were baked into a cake. It was believed that the person who found the coin would become wealthy. The one who found the ring would marry soon. And the person who found the thimble would never get married . Today people practice cardreading or palmistry .
