I think kneeling down seems a harsh thing to do for kiddies. Is it not possible to put the basins or buckets on a sturdy table so that kiddies would not kneel for a long time?

Answer 2

You need a container that has enough amount of space for both apple and water, based on your need. After filling the container 3/4 check that it is neither too hot nor too cold otherwise, people would avoid playing it.

I wondered if it is just played during Halloween only. Any idea about this concern?

Answer 3

I only saw this online that the participants dip their faces in a bucket full of red apples. A winner will be rewarded if he or she got one and ate it.

Answer 4

Bobbing for Apples is a traditional game that is popular during autumn and Halloween. The game is played by filling a tub or basin with water and floating apples in it. Players must then try to grab an apple with their teeth without using their hands. The game is usually played outdoors, but can also be played indoors with a smaller basin.
