Show Notes
Why do we dress up for Halloween? Where did trick-or-treating begin? And what did people carve before pumpkins took over?
With Halloween around the corner, we’re dusting off a Squiz Kids Shortcut from the Vault to uncover the stories behind the spooky fun. Join Amanda and Bryce as they explore Halloween’s Celtic roots, discover how songs and poems once earned people treats, and meet the legendary Stingy Jack and his rather unusual lantern.
There are haunted houses, apple-bobbing adventures and even costumes for pets. Listen carefully … there’s a S’Quiz at the end!
