In addition to this they go for trick or treating in their neighbourhood to collect sweets and candies. In Trick or Treat, kids go to every house one by one and ask the question "Trick or Treat?". The house owners then give them sweets or candies. If a house owner do not give any candies to them then the kids would play some mischievous prank on them. In some countries the kids perform some tricks such as magic tricks, sing a song, tell a joke, play musical instruments or any other talent the kids may have, and in return the house owner will give them candies as treat. Trick and treat is a fun activity that provides an opportunity to kids, to show off their costumes and collect as many candies as they can.
