Or give the guys the opportunity to ask questions to each other and answer them. In addition, you can add the question "Who" s that? to animated objects.
- We repeat again and admire the beautiful characters)).
Halloween is getting more and more popular these days. Every year, fabulous money is spent on costumes, souvenirs, candles, sweets and other attributes. People run amok in the streets, pubs and nightclubs. Many even buy a pumpkin and cut out holes for the eyes, mouth and nose, place a candle inside, and then put a fresh Jack-o-lantern on the windowsills. But why pumpkin? And why "Jack's lamp" and not Tom's or Joseph's? And I'll tell.
There was an old farmer who was not a very good person. And his name was Jack. Jack liked to drink and often spent his evenings at a local tavern. On one of these evenings, Jack ran out of money, and he was very thirsty. Here, according to the scenario, the Devil appears. And, according to the scenario, with his proposal - the soul in exchange for the missing funds. Jack agreed, after which the Devil turned into a coin, which was just enough for a mug of fresh ale. But Jack was cunning: he put the coin in his pocket, where he had a silver cross, which, of course, prevented the Devil from getting out. Jack promised to release the Devil on the condition that he leave him alone for 10 years. The devil agreed, but at the right time, 10 years later, he came to demand Jack's soul. However, Jack did not want to give his soul to the Devil at all. They walked together along the road and saw an apple tree with fresh beautiful apples. Jack pretended that he really wanted to try ripe apples and persuaded the Devil to climb a tree for them. I even hooked him up just to be sure. And when the Devil was already at the top and reaching for apples, Jack carved a cross on the bark of a tree, thus fooling the Devil a second time. They started trading again. The Devil offered to "postpone" the meeting for another 10 years, but Jack was adamant: he promised to help the Devil get off the tree if he never came for his soul. And so it happened, because the Devil was not satisfied with the prospect of staying on the apple tree for eternity. Once Jack nevertheless left this world, but no matter how he pleaded, his soul was not accepted into Paradise. All that was left for the poor soul was to turn to the Devil. But the Devil did not even want to talk to Jack's soul and ordered him to return to where he came from. Jack asked for at least a light, because it was impossible to see anything in the pitch darkness. Then the Devil scooped up a handful of coals from the fire and threw it to Jack. He caught the coals and poured them inside the gourd with slots so that the wind would not blow out the coals. So he went to roam the world in search of a haven for his sinful soul. Here is such a story.

9 Games, songs, stories in English on the theme of Halloween (flash)
History of Halloween
Halloween is traditionally celebrated in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, as well as in Spain and Latin America, although it is not an official holiday or public holiday.
It is believed that the prototype of Halloween is a Celtic holiday. The celebration of "Sawin" \\ Samhain, symbolizing the end of summer, agricultural work and the beginning of a cold winter associated with death, took place on the eve of the Celtic new year, which began on November 1. According to legend, at this time the dead returned to earth to evaluate the deeds of their descendants. Celtic priests - druids - predicted the future on this day. The Celts dressed in masquerade costumes to deceive evil spirits that could bring misfortune upon them. To appease the spirits, food was placed on the thresholds of houses. When the Roman legions conquered Gaul, the traditions of Sowin \ Samhain and two Latin holidays Feralia \ Feralia (falling at the end of October, on this day the Romans commemorated the dead) and the day of Pomona \ Pomona (the goddess of tree fruits, wife of Vertumna, depicted with fruits - usually with apples - and with a garden knife). After the spread of Christianity, pagan holidays were banned. Pope Boniface IV declared November 1 All Saints' Day - on this day it was supposed to commemorate all the saints and martyrs. This was a common practice: Christians often preferred not to ban the ancient rites, but to give them a different sound. The new holiday was called All-Hallowees (a corruption of the Old English phrase - the mass of all saints), and the night of October 31 (Sawine's night) was called "All-Halloween's Eve" - Halloween. It was believed that on Halloween night, dark forces temporarily gain power over the earth and they need to be scared away. In addition, the poor were supposed to give food on this day.
Halloween party supplies
Jack lamp (jack-o "-lantern)
One of the main attributes of the holiday is a carved
pumpkin head with a lit candle or electric light inside. The appearance of this symbol is most often associated with the Irish legend of a stingy man named Jack, who twice deceived the devil and made the impure swear that he would never harm him. When Jack died, God refused to take the soul of a miserly man to heaven. He sent Jack's soul back to earth and gave him fiery coals for eyes so that Jack would ward off the devil. The ancient Irish and Scots began to carve out of apples, and later from potatoes, the terrible faces of the stingy Jack. In the United States, pumpkins have been used for these purposes.
Candles
For many Irish, the symbol of the holiday is a burning candle, which was traditionally placed on the east window and burned until the end of the holiday.
In the United States, Halloween candles are traditionally colored orange, purple, pink, or black, and are scented with cinnamon or other spices for a pungent, sweet-spicy scent that is strongly associated with the holiday.
Trick-o-treat (trick-or-treat)
America has enriched Halloween with the tradition of "trick-o-treat" trick-or-treat(it can be roughly translated as "deceive or treat"). The poor do not expect favors from nature: children dressed up in carnival costumes knock on the doors of houses and demand treats - sweets (a similar custom exists among the Slavic peoples - carols). If the owners are greedy, then the children can take revenge. Previously, they threw eggs at an inhospitable house, and over time, toilet paper often began to play the role of eggs - the roll is thrown in such a way that it unwinds.
Ghost stories
During Halloween, it is customary to share ghost stories and other scary tales.
Divination (fortune-telling)
In some regions, Halloween is called "the night of cracking nuts" because nuts were often used in divination and divination. The girl, in order to make sure that her lover was faithful, put two nuts with names on the grate next to the hearth. If they burned together, everything was in order, but if they flew apart or did not burn, this indicated that the young man was unfaithful.
In England, on Halloween, ivy leaves were thrown into the fire in pairs - pointed for a man, and round for a woman. If in the hot air the leaves rushed towards each other - it was for a wedding, and if they flew apart - for a quarrel.
Apple reel (bobbing for apples)
Traditional fun on the eve of All Saints' Day. Players (usually children) try to fish out apples with their teeth from a vessel filled with water. In Scotland the game is known as " ducking for apples", in Ireland - " snap apple".
food
Food associated with Halloween: Bonfire toffee(candy, type of toffee); caramel apples(caramelized apples); caramel corn(caramelized corn); Pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread(pumpkin, pumpkin pie, pumpkin bread); Roasted pumpkin seeds(roasted pumpkin seeds); Roasted sweet corn(fried sweet corn); soul cakes(Easter cake of All Saints' Day); Novelty candy shaped like skulls, pumpkins, bats, worms, etc.(candies in the form of skulls, pumpkins, bats, worms, etc.).
Halloween has spawned an entire culinary trend. For example, "terrible" cakes and pies are baked on this day in the USA. However, an ordinary coffee or chocolate cake can be turned into a real Halloween one. To do this, just stick a few cookies and drip raspberry or cherry jam on them (they will depict bloody tombstones). In the United States, "blood popcorn" has been popular in recent years. A little tomato juice is added to ordinary popcorn (popcorn), after which the popcorn is dried in the oven for two minutes.
