The information handout explores the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, the Roman festivals that influenced the Celts, the Christian All Saints’ Day and later traditions brought by Irish and Scottish immigrants to the holiday in North America.

The game is a fun Bobbing for Apples Quiz Game, where students have to "bob for apples" (pick a letter card) and spell the answer to a quiz question. This can be played by individual students in stations, or by teams in a class.
