[Part 2] Halloween Quiz Roundup: Classic and Quirky Multiple-Choice Quizzes (Questions 11–20) Recommended for Kids
What vegetable were jack-o’-lanterns traditionally made from?
- turnip
- watermelon
- Apple
See the answer
turnip
Speaking of jack-o'-lanterns, we usually think of pumpkins, but the ancient Celts, who held the festival that became the origin of Halloween, actually used turnips. So why did it become pumpkins? Because when the custom of Halloween spread to America, turnips were hard to come by. People used pumpkins instead, and that became the norm.
In which country was the classic Halloween “piñata” first made?
- America
- Mexico
- China
See the answer
Mexico
Pinatas are a classic feature at birthday parties and Christmas, and lately they’ve also been enjoyed more and more at Halloween. Pinatas originated in Mexico. You fill a paper mold with candy and have fun breaking it open by hitting it with a stick.
In the classic Halloween game “apple bobbing,” what do you retrieve using only your mouth?
- None
- mandarin orange
- Apple
See the answer
Apple
As the name suggests, apple bobbing is a game where you try to grab apples using only your mouth. You float apples in a tub filled with water and pick them up without using your hands. You can either time how long it takes to get one apple, or set a time limit and compete to see how many apples you can get within that time.
What is Japanese kabocha most commonly called in English?
- pumpkin
- winter squash
- Tropical Squash
See the answer
Tropical Squash
Many of you may be surprised, thinking, “Isn’t kabocha called pumpkin?” In fact, only some pumpkins with orange rinds are called “pumpkins.” The green Japanese kabocha is called tropical squash. By the way, Western kabocha is called winter squash, and that’s the type we Japanese mainly eat.
