Let’s solve this step by step.
We have a word bank with these words:
- exciting
- park
- beach
- picnic
- food
- brightly
- drinks
- ocean
- kites
- scooters
Now, let’s read the paragraph and fill in each blank with the best word from the list.
1. “Summer is a special time of the year when the weather is warm and the sun shines ______.”
→ The sun shines *brightly*. That makes sense — we say “shines brightly” to describe strong sunlight.
2. “During summer, we can go to the ______ and build sandcastles or swim in the ______.”
→ First blank: We build sandcastles at the *beach*.
→ Second blank: We swim in the *ocean*. (Sometimes people say “sea,” but “ocean” is in our word bank.)
3. “We can also have a ______ at the ______ and enjoy delicious ______ and ______.”
→ Have a *picnic* at the *park*. That’s common!
→ Enjoy delicious *food* and *drinks*. Those go together at a picnic.
4. “The days are longer, which means we have more time to play outside and ride our ______.”
→ Ride our *scooters*. Kids often ride scooters in summer.
5. “Sometimes, we may see colorful ______ flying in the sky.”
→ Colorful *kites* fly in the sky. Perfect match.
6. “Summer is a fun and ______ season that we look forward to every year!”
→ Fun and *exciting* season. That fits nicely.
