In U.S. tomorrow is Halloween. Your kids or you yourself might have been looking forward to the Halloween as it’s such a special day to dress up in costumes and go around for tick-or-treating.

When my kids were younger, I used to have just as much fun as the kids by watching how kids and adults dress up so nicely on Halloween day. Of course watching kids getting excited over candy was another part. No matter what the Northwest weather might be, Halloween has been one of those events that kids wouldn’t miss for anything.

Today’s lesson is all about the Halloween. Below are some Halloween related vocabulary that I have collected. Enjoy!
