Trick or Treat Word Search
This list follows the walk from door to door: the costume, the doorbell and the porch, the pillowcase or the bucket, the flashlight and the glow stick, the full size candy bar everyone hopes for, the toothbrush nobody does, and the swap on the floor afterward.
The custom has two old roots. In Scotland and Ireland, children went guising, house to house in disguise, earning fruit or coins with a song, a poem or a joke, as many Scottish children still do. In medieval England the poor went souling around All Souls' Day and were given a soul cake in return for a prayer for the household's dead.
The phrase trick or treat first turned up in print in Alberta, Canada, in 1927. Sugar rationing during the Second World War slowed it down, and it spread across American suburbs in the years after. In It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown, from 1966, every time Charlie Brown looks in his bag he finds a rock. The Teal Pumpkin Project, started in 2014 by the group Food Allergy Research and Education, marks houses that hand out small toys instead of food.
