- (10): The sentence says “We have got a...” – so it could be “a sandcastle”, but since it’s plural later (“we build”), maybe “build sandcastles” is better. But the image shows one sandcastle, so "build a sandcastle" fits.
- (9): “I (9) ___” – the image is a ball, so likely “play with a ball” or “play ball games”. “Play with a ball” is natural.
- (18): “my friend (18) ___” – image is guitar → “plays the guitar”
- (19): “climb into the (19) ___” → sleeping bag (plural: sleeping bags)
