The festival was filled with multiple horror shapes of the henna colors and original masks.

Apple eating and lemon passing contests

There are numerous games in Halloween festival using apples, such as bobbing for apples, eating apples or peeling apples. It is believed that the longer people make the peel, the longer they live ... At the AHS Halloween festival, the apple eating contest was one of the games that brought the most joyful and animated atmosphere to the Asian International School community. In the contest, apples were tied to ropes hanging overhead; students demonstrated their ability of agility and dexterity by eating apples while being blindfolded in the shortest time.

Similarly, lemon passing contest also brought the exciting atmosphere to the festival. In this contest, students could enhance team spirit and unity when participating in this game.
