History of Halloween.

Pupils of the 11th form:

Halloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of October 31. Traditional activities include trick-or-treating, bonfires, costume parties, visiting "haunted houses" and carving jack-o-lanterns. Irish and Scottish immigrants carried versions of the tradition to North America in the nineteenth century. Other western countries embraced the holiday in the late twentieth century including Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto Rico and the United Kingdom as well as of Australia and New Zealand.

Halloween has its origins in the ancient Celtic festival known as Samhain (pronounced "sah-win").

The festival of Samhain is a celebration of the end of the harvest season in Gaelic culture. Samhain was a time used by the ancient pagans to take stock of supplies and prepare for winter.

The ancient Gaels believed that on October 31, the

 boundaries between

the worlds of the living and the dead overlapped and the deceased would come back to life and cause havoc such as sickness or damaged crops.

The festival would frequently involve bonfires. It is believed that the fires attracted insects to the area which attracted bats to the area. These are additional attributes of the history of Halloween.

Masks and consumes were worn in an attempt to mimic the evil spirits or appease them.

Trick-or-treating, is an activity for children on or around Halloween in which they proceed from house to house in costumes, asking for treats such as confectionery with the question, "Trick or treat?" The "trick" part of "trick or treat" is a threat to play a trick on the homeowner or his property if no treat is given. Trick-or-treating is one of the main traditions of Halloween. It has become socially expected that if one lives in a neighborhood with children one should purchase treats in preparation for trick-or-treaters

The history of Halloween has evolved.  The activity is popular in the United States, the United Kingdom, Ireland, Canada, and due to increased American cultural influence in recent years, imported through exposure to US television and other media, trick-or-treating has started to occur among children in many parts of Europe, and in the Saudi Aramco camps of Dhahran, Akaria compounds and Ras Tanura in Saudi Arabia. The most significant growth — and resistance is in the United Kingdom, where the police have threatened to prosecute parents who allow their children to carry out the "trick" element. In continental Europe, where the commerce-driven importation of Halloween is seen with more skepticism, numerous destructive or illegal "tricks" and police warnings have further raised suspicion about this game and Halloween in general.

In Ohio, Iowa, and Massachusetts, the night designated for Trick-or-treating is often referred to as Beggars Night.

Part of the history of Halloween  is Halloween costumes. The practice of dressing up in costumes and begging door to door for treats on holidays goes back to the Middle Ages, and includes Christmas wassailing. Trick-or-treating resembles the late medieval practice of "souling," when poor folk would go door to door on Hallowmas (November 1), receiving food in return for prayers for the dead on All Souls Day (November 2). It originated in Ireland and Britain, although similar practices for the souls of the dead were found as far south as Italy. Shakespeare mentions the practice in his comedy The Two Gentlemen of Verona (1593), when Speed accuses his master of "puling [whimpering, whining], like a beggar at Hallowmas."

Yet there is no evidence that souling was ever practiced in America, and trick-or-treating may have developed in America independent of any Irish or British antecedent. There is little primary Halloween history documentation of masking or costuming on Halloween — in Ireland, the UK, or America — before 1900. The earliest known reference to ritual begging on Halloween in English speaking North America occurs in 1911, when a newspaper in Kingston, Ontario, near the border of upstate New York, reported that it was normal for the smaller children to go street guising (see below) on Halloween between 6 and 7 p.m., visiting shops and neighbors to be rewarded with nuts and candies for their rhymes and songs. Another isolated reference appears, place unknown, in 1915, with a third reference in Chicago in 1920. The thousands of Halloween postcards produced between the turn of the 20th century and the 1920s commonly show children but do not depict trick-or-treating. Ruth Edna Kelley, in her 1919 history of the holiday, The Book of Hallowe'en, makes no mention of such a custom in the chapter "Hallowe'en in America." It does not seem to have become a widespread practice until the 1930s, with the earliest known uses in print of the term "trick or treat" appearing in 1934, and the first use in a national publication occurring in 1939. Thus, although a quarter million Scots-Irish immigrated to America between 1717 and 1770, the Irish Potato Famine brought almost a million immigrants in 1845–1849, and British and Irish immigration to America peaked in the 1880s, ritualized begging on Halloween was virtually unknown in America until generations later.

Teacher: Now let’s sing a song.

Teacher: Now let’s play a little. I know one interesting game. Someone puts water and apples in a big bowl. The apples stay on top of the water. The players must keep their hands behind their back and take an apple out of the water with their teeth. The game is very funny and difficult, and players usually get very wet!

Дети играют в игру. Примерные игры.

1.Pin the Nose on the Jack-O-Lantern Printable Halloween Party Game

Print out this pin the nose on the Jack-O-Lantern game. Use it during your next Halloween party. Download the templates I provide or create your own.

Print out the jack-o-lantern and color it if desired. You can also cut one out of orange paper. Hang it up on your wall. Print out the jack-o-lantern nose below, or create your own, and cut them out.

To play the game, everyone gets a nose with a small piece of tape stuck to the back of it. Each person then gets blindfolded (one at a time) and spun around in a circle a few times. The person then reaches out and tries to stick the nose onto the Jack-O-Lantern. Of course, someone has to help steer the blindfolded person in the right direction a little bit... The person who gets the nose closest to where it belongs wins!

2. How to Set Up a Bobbing for Apples Game

You can't have a Halloween party with out bobbing for apples. It's a classic party game that is fun for all ages and it's easy to do

To Play Bobbing for Apples, Here Is What You Need:

A large tub or basin, even a storage bin will work.

Water

Apples

Towels

Set Up the Bobbing for Apples Tank

First fill your tub with water. Stop about three inches from the top to help avoid too much spilling. Place several apples in the tub and you are ready to begin. There are a couple of ways to play. For a competitive feel have two or three players hold their hands behind their backs. On your command have players all try to grab an apple with their teeth at the same time. The first to bring up an apple up wins.

Young Children May Need Help Bobbing for Apples

If you want to eliminate the competitive aspect have your players each try one at a time to catch an apple with their teeth. The apples will move around making it difficult to bite. If your playing with very young children you may want to lend a helping hand and hold the apple still for them to bite. It is much more fun to have multiple apples in the water at one time, however, for sanitary purposes, you may want play the game with only one apple in the water at a time. It's up to you. Keep some towels handy there is no way around it your players are going to get wet.

3.Make A Mummy

Object of the Game: The first team to wrap their mummy wins!

What You Do: Here's the classic bridal shower "Toilet Paper Bride" game changed around for Halloween and kids. Divide the kids into smaller groups, four kids a group is usually good, one for the mummy, three to wrap.  The object is for each group to wrap their mummy faster than the other groups but doing a good job.

You can have a winner for the best mummy or a race for the fastest mummy wrapped, or no winner at all. To organize it a bit, try letting each group draw jobs, one child might pick the mummy slip of paper, one gets wrapper, etc. You can also break this down further to give each child a job like wrapping arms and legs, one wraps the torso, etc.

The first group to get their mummy wrapped wins the game but make it a rule that they have to wrap nicely. Keep the eyes, mouth and nose uncovered, don’t throw the T.P. around the room. This game works better with older, more behaved kids.

Now it's time to tell fortune:

HALLOWEEN TIME FOR FORTUNE:

You could rely on the atmosphere of Halloween to add some mystery to your next Halloween party games. Or another way to add mystery to your Halloween party games can be by playing this fortune telling game. Place four small saucers on a table in a line. You can also use party plates to make for easy clean up. Into the first put dirt; into the second, drizzle some water; into the third, a ring; into the fourth, a rag. Guests are blindfolded on at a time and led around table twice; then told to go alone and put fingers into saucer. If they put their into dirt, it means divorce; into water, a trip across ocean; where the ring is, to marry; where the rag is, never to marry. Give the guests similar themed Halloween party favors afterwards, such as goodie bags filled with rings, hankerchiefs, small vials of scented water and pretty rocks. You can switch up the interpretations a bit if you want to soften the blow for someone who may find that he or she is never to marry. For instance you might say, loves the bachelor life, instead at the party games.

Teacher: Thank you. Good bye.
