If the electricity grid went out I would be very unhappy. Why? I will be unhappy because most of the time I am inside with my electronics. And with my electronics I go online, and I also like to play games online.

If the electricity went out today I woudn’t know what to do. I would be very upset and I would also be very bored. But what will I be doing until the electricity comes back because sometimes the electricity takes for ever to come back. And how would I ever be relaxed if all the things I like to do are in electronics?

Well I mostly haven’t really told you that sometimes these really cool pictures come up on my computer and I like to draw them. And also when I don’t have my eletronics I really like to play with my stuffed bear Snowball. I like to be with Snowball because sometimes I stare of to space and me Snowball are shareing our feelings and also haveing fun at the same time. So baseicly I get really relaxed with Snowball and also mybears  name is Snowball Also Snowball makes my blues go away.

At night I would light a candle and lay down and toss a ball up in the air to stay calm and not be afraid. I woud keep the candle on all night because I can’t go to sleep with out some kind of light. Sometimes I would call my friends over to play hide and seek with them.

In the morning I would skateboard with my friends to the park. Once I get bored of that I will get my baseball stuff and just throw the basebal against the wall or hit in my net or I will just play with my friends.

What would you do if the light went out in your country? If the electricty went out I would play with my skateboard in the morning and at night with my family and friends I would play hide an seek or tag in the dark,in my garage. I would get relaxed becuse if I tag someone in the dark or find someone in the dark I feel like I have night vision. Also some superheros have night vision and I will feel like a superhero and that relaxes me.

Also when I skateboard it is a stress reliver and I forget about how hard life is going on me. Or if im scared of something i skateboard. Also in the dark I would tell story’s Mabye some scary story’s too. What would you do if the electricity went out in your country? You can go look at stars and try to find constellations. I will also make a fire and roast marshmallows on the fire,or go for a walk.

Another thing that I will do is camp int he dark with a lamp. Or a glow in the dark party I will do a flow in the dark party because it doesn’t involve electricity.

If there wasn’t any electricity I wouldn’t be able to watch television nor have fun playing video games. However, something that doesn’t require electricity is one of my favorite activities, which is drawing. I like to draw because it allows me to express my feelings.  When I draw I am able to forget about the things around me and enjoy the moment. In that moment I could be whatever I want to be. For example a magical creature or a  princess. You just have to think about the things you like  and draw it. Drawing is really fun and I think that everyone should draw.

Drawing has many benefits because it increases your imagination and your drawing skills. For example when I draw I can put myself in any situation. I like to put myself into my drawings and image what it would be like to enter my drawings. I also find drawing to be really fun, and I can release myself from tough situations. It is also very relaxing and it allows me to express myself without leaving my desk. Another thing that I enjoy is not having to follow any rules. My drawings don’t need rules because I decide what to do. Lastly I enjoy doing drawings because I can give them to those I love for example my family and friends.

Theese  graphs represent how many people have video games and how man people have board games.You can see in the graphs that alot more people have more video games that board games.

If the power was out I would die. No not really but I us the internet all day long. But I don’t really is it all day I like to do other stuff like color but I can’t color cause I cant see. The things I do when I do my homework is get popcorn and watch Minecraft that’s all I do and I love doing it but if the power Is out what do I do.

I love playing video games but it rots the brain so that’s why I color. If the power was out I would play on my 3ds. Like I said I love video games and my 3ds doesn’t need internet.

There lots and lots of other things to do but I can’t live without video games. Or Internet. I think if the power was out I won’t live a day. But if I now where my 3ds, my bag of chips and my water bottle I think I’ll live. For an hour.

If the power grid went out in my area if we had no electricity  I would play hide and seek. Hide and seek is a fun game to play and your moving and getting in exercise. Hide and seek can also bring your family closer cause when play hide and seek you all are hanging out instead of watching tv. Hide and seek is relaxing because you can get away from the electronics and not stare at a screen all the time.

Hide and seek is fun cause you have to hide and the player has to find you. When the person finds you are it to so then you have to find the other person. When I played there was rules like when you have to find  other people you have to count a time and you cant look when the kids are gonna hide. Hide and seek can also keep you busy for awhile.

If the power went out in your area what would you do? What kind of activity would you do? Would you play outside or inside? I like to play hide and seek its fun and can keep you busy for awhile.

Mall Madness was invented for mainly girls who liked to shop. The game was for ages nine and up. They had different versions like Hanna Montana and Littlest Pet Shop.

I pick a game called Vasati. Vasati is a Persian – American game. Vasati is not a sport its just a game that for fun. Its like dodge ball but a little bit different. You have two teams that are at the sides and one in the middle. The teams in the side are trying to throw the ball to the people in the middle so they can get them out. When they get out they wait in a line where the middle people wait to cheer on for the people to get you back in by the people that are in the middle are going to catch the ball when it doesn’t touch the ground. You win when all the people in the middle are out. I played this game at a park with my family and friend I had a great day. I felt closer to my family and friends.

There is an other none sport game called Chistales. You need 2 or more players to play the game. You draw a triangle with chalk or marker. Then you will draw a line three feet away from the triangle. Each player will place a marble inside the triangle. Then you wait for your turn behind the line. Once your next will roll the marble to try to move the marble out of the triangle. If you are in marble that you rolled is in the triangle and if someone hits your marble out of the triangle your eliminated. You win by who has the most marbles that they got out.

The game of life was invented in 1860. The game of life invented in Springfield, Massachusetts. The designers of the game of life are Reuben Klamer and Bill Markham. They invented the game of life to simulate a person’s life and travels from start, college to finish, retirement. In the game of life you get married, maybe graduate depending on what you chose, maybe go to night school, maybe have kids, get sued by another player, and maybe get to spin the wheel called spin to win.

A long the way you get a action card for each step. The first thing you do is get your person peg a boy or a girl pink or blue, your starting money 200k, a token and get a car. Then before you get started on the game is to decide whether or not you want to go to the college path or the career path and choose a job or wait till after college. You also need to choose a banker to pay everyone they salary when you pass a payday space. The first person to start is the youngest player and the wealthiest player wins.
