WANT SOMETHING TO DO NOW?

Imagine the best playground in the world. What is it like?

Where is it? (for example, in a wood)
What equipment has the playground got? (for example, ropes, a tree house etc)
What is on the ground? (for example, grass)
What else is in the playground? (for example, a picnic table, a space for playing football, flowers)
What are the playground rules? (for example, children must not fight)

Now draw a picture of your playground and write a description of it.
