my summer holiday activity - Free Printable

Let’s go step by step to fill in the blanks using the word bank. We’ll match each picture with the correct word from the list.

---

First sentence:
> I always go to a summer __________, with my __________ in July.

- Picture 1: Kids camping → “camp”
- Picture 2: Two adults (mom and dad) → “parents”

✔ So: camp, parents

---

Next:
> We stay in a __________ near a river. On __________ days, we go __________, or play __________ games.

- Picture: Tent → “tent”
- Picture: Sun → “sunny”
- Picture: Person swimming → “swimming”
- Picture: Beach ball → “ball”

✔ So: tent, sunny, swimming, ball

---

Next:
> We also like picking __________ and __________ in the __________.

- Picture: Mushrooms → “mushrooms”
- Picture: Blueberries → “blueberries”
- Picture: Trees/forest → “woods”

✔ So: mushrooms, blueberries, woods

---

Next:
> Sometimes we go on a trip. We can __________ or go by __________, visit old __________, or interesting __________.

- Picture: Hiker walking → “walk”
- Picture: Bus → “bus”
- Picture: Castle → “castles”
- Picture: City skyline → “towns”

✔ So: walk, bus, castles, towns

---

Next:
> In August my __________ have their holidays, too. We travel the __________. We fly by __________ to the seaside...

- Picture: Parents again → “parents” (already used? But it fits — maybe they’re traveling too)
Wait — actually, look at the picture: two people sitting on beach towels → that’s “sunbathing”? No — wait, next blank is “We travel the ___” — picture shows ocean/waves → “sea”

Then: Fly by plane → “plane”

But let’s check:

> my __________ have their holidays, too.

Picture: Two older people? Or parents? Actually, looking back — earlier we used “parents” for the first blank. But here, the picture might be “friends”? Wait — no, the picture after “my” shows two adults walking — likely still “parents”. But let’s see the word bank — “friends” is available. Hmm.

Actually, re-examining: The sentence says “In August my __________ have their holidays, too.” — probably referring to friends? But the picture looks like parents. Let’s hold that.

Wait — next part: “We travel the __________” — picture is waves → “sea”

Then: “fly by __________” → airplane → “plane”

So:

> my __________ → if not parents, maybe “friends”? But earlier we used parents. Let’s check word bank — “friends” is there. Maybe this is about friends having holidays too? But contextually, it’s more likely still parents. However, since “parents” was already used, and words can repeat? The instructions don’t say you can’t reuse. But typically in these exercises, each word is used once.

Looking at the word bank:
sea, walk, canoeing, tent, mushrooms, camp, boat, towns, car, ball, parents, sunny, bus, woods, friends, fishing, blueberries, castles, plane, swimming, sunbathing, island

“Parents” appears only once in the bank. So we must use it only once. First blank was “with my parents” — so that’s taken.

Now, “In August my __________ have their holidays, too.” — who else? Friends? That makes sense — your friends also get holidays in August.

And the picture: two people walking — could be friends.

So: friends

Then: “We travel the __________” → sea (picture of ocean)

Then: “fly by __________” → plane

✔ So: friends, sea, plane

---

Next:
> ...or even to an __________. When my dad drives a __________, we always take a __________ with us to go __________ along the beach.

- Picture: Island with palm tree → “island”
- Picture: Car → “car”
- Picture: Canoe/kayak → “canoeing”? Wait — but the blank is “take a __________ with us” — so noun, not verb. Word bank has “boat” — yes, “take a boat”
- Then: “go __________ along the beach” — picture: person in red raft paddling → “canoeing”

Wait — “canoeing” is a verb form, but here it’s “go canoeing” — which is correct.

But “take a boat” — yes, “boat” is in the bank.

Alternatively, could it be “take a canoe”? But “canoe” isn’t in the bank — “canoeing” is. So probably “take a boat”, then “go canoeing”.

Yes.

✔ So: island, car, boat, canoeing

---

Last:
> Mum loves __________, but dad prefers __________.

- Picture: Woman sunbathing → “sunbathing”
- Picture: Man fishing → “fishing”

✔ So: sunbathing, fishing

---

Final Answer:

I always go to a summer camp, with my parents in July. We stay in a tent near a river. On sunny days, we go swimming, or play ball games. We also like picking mushrooms and blueberries in the woods. Sometimes we go on a trip. We can walk or go by bus, visit old castles, or interesting towns. In August my friends have their holidays, too. We travel the sea. We fly by plane to the seaside in far-away countries or even to an island. When my dad drives a car, we always take a boat with us to go canoeing along the beach. Mum loves sunbathing, but dad prefers fishing.
