Exactly What Is Halloween, Then? Children's Halloween-themed Games And Crafts. by skidos2021: 11:19am On Nov 04, 2022
For those unfamiliar, please explain the Halloween celebration.
On October 31st, people all over the world celebrate Halloween. The name Halloween comes from the night before All Saints' Day (also known as All Hallows' Day). Western Christians observe this day as the beginning of the three-day festival known as Allhallowtide, which culminates on All Souls' Day. It is generally accepted that Halloween celebrations in Europe and North America are secular and appropriate for children.
 
 
The First Halloween
The Celtic festival Samhain, celebrated in ancient Britain and Ireland, is the forerunner to modern Halloween. Samhain began on the modern equivalent of the 1st of November. The dead were thought to return to their homes during the Samhain holiday. The souls of those who had died that year were said to leave for the hereafter. Bonfires were lit atop hills to ward off evil spirits, and people often hid their identities behind masks and other disguises for fear of being seen by the ghosts they believed to be lurking there. In light of this, supernatural entities including witches, hobgoblins, fairies, and demons have become commonly linked with Halloween.
Pope Boniface IV of the seventh century is credited with designating May 13 as All Saints' Day. As the centuries progressed, the date was shifted to November 1. It was on October 31st, the night before All Saints' Day when the holiday known as Halloween (All Hallows' Eve) was first observed. Not until the middle of the nineteenth century did Halloween become a secular holiday. An influx of people, many of them Irish, came to the United States in the middle of the nineteenth century, bringing with them a love of Halloween traditions. The twentieth century saw Halloween rise to prominence as a major American event, especially for kids.
 
It's Halloween tonight.
Halloween is a secular festival celebrated in many ways, including playing educational games like math learning game, engaging in harmless pranks, decorating with carved pumpkins (jack-o'-lanterns), dressing up in masks and costumes, and going door to door in search of treats. To get a treat, typically candy, on Halloween, trick-or-treaters visit houses in the neighborhood and threaten to perform a trick on those who do not hand them a treat. Bobbing for apples or doughnuts are typical party game at Halloween celebrations. The occasion has been increasingly associated with supernatural creatures of a macabre nature.
In addition to the traditional Halloween activities, Halloween-themed educational games have recently gained popularity. On mobile devices like the iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch, there are educational games for kids to enjoy in celebration of Halloween. Even on Halloween, kids can benefit from the play-based learning facilitated by math games for kids and kindergarten learning games. This collection of Halloween-themed preschooler learning games is a fun way for kids of all ages to unwind, have some fun, and get a head start on their education. The math and tracing skills kids pick up from playing Halloween-themed video games are a bonus. Reviewing the top Halloween educational games and the SKIDOS Halloween 3-in-1 game bundle is a fun way to get into the spirit of the holiday.
 
Activities for teaching and learning about Halloween.

Fantasy World is a great example of a learning game for 2-year-olds who also enjoy adventure and fantasy. To put it simply, trolls, gnomes, witches, dragons, and all manner of fantastical beasts populate Fantasy World. Kids can make their monsters in the polymorph lab, prepare feasts fit for a king, and play soccer in the sky in Fantasy World. The young ones can design a princess dress, create a magic potion, and discover keys and gems.

There is a magic elixir the kids can make using the witch's recipe, and they can even ride on her broomstick.
