Pumpkin Patch Halloween Facts A2

About this Halloween facts task

Each round shows four statements about Halloween, and one of them is false. Read all four and click the odd one out – that Halloween is on the last Sunday in October, say, or that it is an American holiday.

The true statements are worth reading on their own: where the name All Hallows’ Eve came from, why Mexico keeps the Day of the Dead from 31 October to 2 November, how jack-o’-lanterns grew out of Irish folk tales.
