1. Greeting.
- Good evening, dear pupils, teachers and parents! Welcome to our Halloween
party. I am glad to see you all. Halloween is a great holiday in Britain and in The
United states of America. Especially for children. Do you like this holiday?
(Pupils answer)
2. The main facts about Halloween.
It is a festival that takes place on October 31st. It is the end of autumn and
the start of winter . The main attribute of  Halloween is Jack-O`Lantern .This
holiday started in Ireland. Halloween was originally a festival of the dead.
Halloween means All Hallows Eve. You know, the 1st of November is All
Hallows Day . Many people in the USA and the UK celebrate this holiday with
great pleasure, but, unfortunately, in our country this holiday is not well known.
On this day children wear costumes of ghosts and witches. They go for a walk late
at night, knock at doors of their neighbors, and shout: "Trick or treat?'' The
neighbors give sweets or money. The main symbol of Halloween is a pumpkin or
Jack-O`Lantern . Children cut holes in pumpkins and place candles into them. At
night pumpkins look like heads with burning eyes, and it is horrible and
frightening. On this holiday people decorate their houses with pumpkins. Children
bring pumpkins to school too.
Besides, children like to tell each other scary stories about ghosts, witches, and
skeletons.
3. Work with flashcards.
-Let’s name these symbols of Halloween. [Appendixes S, T]

monster, a web, a spider, a bat).

Through sheaves and leaves

Or we'll surely play a trick.
Trick or treat, trick or treat,
Give us something good to eat.
