Halloween

This is an editable, simple text, 45-slide PowerPoint presentation on Halloween. It is suitable for younger pupils and older SEN students. The PowerPoint focuses on:

The Origins and History of Halloween - the Celts and the Festival of Sahmain, All Saints’ Day,
All Hallows’ Day, All Souls’ Day and the rituals, traditions and customs surrounding these feasts.
The Origins of the Jack O’ Lantern
The Origins of Trick-or-Treat
The Origins of Apple Bobbing

The PowerPoint illustrates how, over time, Samhain, All Saints’ Day and All Souls’ Day have merged to create the Halloween we know today. It ends with some questions to promote discussion.

The PowerPoint also contains hyperlinks to the Greenwich Village Halloween Parade in New York City - the world’s largest Halloween parade and a link to a short video of the history of Halloween.
