People like to carve happy faces into big orange pumpkins to make jack-o’-lanterns. Many children go trick-or-treating with their families and friends. They carry little buckets or bags and knock on doors to say “Trick or treat!” Neighbors then share sweet candies and treats with them. Halloween is also a great time to play games and tell stories.
