The tradition of Halloween on 31 October comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain Samhain was the Celtic New Year and they celebrated it on 1 November because that was the end of summer and harvest time (life) and the beginning of winter (death)

Halloween - LearnEnglish Kids

Halloween is on 31 October every year It has been celebrated for more than 2000 years It probably comes from Samhain the day aliens could enter our world Pumpkins with faces cut in them are called ‘jack o’lanterns’ Originally potatoes were used to make jack o’lanterns! The heaviest pumpkin ever grown weighed over 5000 kilograms

Pumpkins
The Celts carved faces into vegetables like turnips, potatoes and squash (a pumpkin is a kind of squash) to scare the ghosts and other spirits and make them go away. It was sometimes called a jack-o’-lantern because of an Irish story about a man, Jack. He played a trick on the devil and then had to walk the earth for all time as a punishment. Irish...
Fancy Dress
The Celts were afraid of the ghosts that came on Samhain. If they went outside after dark, they covered their faces with masks. They hoped any ghosts they met would think they were ghosts too and would leave them alone. In early America, the Native Americans and the first Europeans celebrated the end of the harvest, but not Halloween. When Irish pe...
Trick Or Treat
This is another tradition that began in Europe, this time in England. When the church introduced All Souls Day, rich people gave poor people ‘soul cakes’, a small cake made with spices and raisins.

Why do people celebrate Halloween on 31 October?

The tradition of Halloween on 31 October comes from the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain. Samhain was the Celtic New Year and they celebrated it on 1 November because that was the end of summer and harvest time (life) and the beginning of winter (death). It was also the time for ghosts to return to earth for a day.

How do I learn about Halloween?

This lesson looks at Halloween with games, a song or story and projects. In this lesson, learners will practise Halloween vocabulary, sing a song and/or watch a story. Depending on the stages chosen, they will then invent an animal skeleton, write a spooky story, imagine some animals in a haunted house and/or invent a magic potion.

What are the most popular Halloween costumes in the UK?

People of all ages dress up on Halloween. In the UK some of the most popular costumes include witches, vampires, ghosts, skeletons, zombies and monsters. We can trace this tradition back to the Celts, who were afraid of the ghosts that came on Samhain. If they went outside after dark, they covered their faces with masks.

How was Halloween celebrated in the Middle Ages?

People lit a big fire, wore special clothes made of animal skin and hoped to be safe from the ghosts and the winter. In AD 609, the Catholic Church put the Christian celebration of All Saints Day on 1 November. In AD 1000, the church added All Souls Day on 2 November, and All Hallows Eve – or Halloween – moved to the night of the 31st.
