Way back in the 1930s, when your great-great-grandparents were young, children liked to dress up as spooky ghosts and pointy-hatted witches! A ghost costume was easy to make, because you could just cut two holes in an old white sheet.  \nGhosts and witches were fun, but soon kids wanted to be brave heroes too. In the 1950s, lots of children dressed as cowboys, with hats, boots, and pretend horses to gallop around the yard. Yee-haw, those cowboys were everywhere on Halloween night!  \nAfter the cowboys came a costume that shot way up high. In the 1960s, when real rockets first blasted people toward the moon, kids wanted to be astronauts in shiny space suits. Can you picture a whole street full of little astronauts, ready to blast off for candy?  \nToday, kids still love dressing up, but the costumes have changed again. A group called the National Retail Federation asks people every year what they will wear, and superheroes and princesses are often on the list. So the next time you put on a cape or a crown, remember that kids have been dressing up for almost a hundred years!  \n Popular Halloween Costumes Through the Decades Name:  \n\n| Solve each problem.\u003Cbr>Use the article to answer the question.\u003Cbr>1) What did children in the 1930s like to dress up as?\u003Cbr>A.
