Can you picture a big tub of water with shiny red apples floating on top? At a game called bobbing for apples, you put your hands behind your back and try to grab an apple with just your teeth. The apples bob and roll away, so it is trickier than it looks!  \nGetting an apple with only your mouth takes a lot of giggling and dripping chins. This game is very old, older than your great-greatgrandparents. People played it long ago at harvest parties in the fall, when apples were fresh off the trees and easy to find.  \nFresh apples showed up in another game too, called snap-apple. In that game, an apple was tied to a string and hung from the ceiling, and players tried to bite it while it swung. Some people even played guessing games to have fun and tell silly fortunes at their parties.  \nThose old parties turned into the Halloween parties families enjoy today. In the early 1900s in America, children played apple games, told stories, and wore costumes at parties in their homes. Today many schools use clean, dry games instead of water, like grabbing paper apples, so nobody goes home with a soggy shirt!  \n Bobbing for Apples and Other Halloween Games Name:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) In the game of bobbing for apples, how do players try to grab an apple?\u003Cbr>A.
