Teacher Mr. Lee gave each child paper and crayons. He asked them to draw what they love to play.
Maya drew a game of hopscotch. She used yellow and pink colors on the gray sidewalk.
Sam drew three children running fast. They were playing a game of tag on the green grass.

Leo drew a big red kickball flying in the air. He said kickball is his favorite outdoor game.
Mr. Lee taped all twenty drawings on the back wall. Now the whole room is full of color.
