KIDS TRIVIA

Detailed explanation-1: -During the evening of Halloween, on October 31, people in costumes travel from house to house, asking for treats with the phrase “trick or treat". The “treat” is some form of confectionery, usually candy/sweets, although in some cultures money is given instead.

Detailed explanation-2: -While Halloween was known as a time when pranksters were rampant, it was also a time for kids to collect treats. Kids would ask, “trick-or-treat?” when they called on homes, giving homeowners a choice. Since no one wanted to be pranked, candy and other sweet treats were handed out.

Detailed explanation-3: -The earliest recorded examples of the “trick or treat” phrase come from Canadian newspapers in the 1920s. The phrase appears to be a reference to tricking-or disguising yourself-and treating, getting a treat at people’s doors. It seems to have just evolved over the years.

Detailed explanation-4: -When they ring the doorbell and the door is opened, the phrase “TRICK OR TREAT!” is yelled. A person who goes from house to house asking for candy is called a trick-or-treater. The origin of this phrase comes from a Scotland custom called guising.
