What I like to do outside

Weather

I like these conditions because if it's too cold
outside, my hands hurt and it's hard to dribble the ball. The reason I like partly cloudy is because there is some sunlight but when there is too much sunlight it's hard to see the rim.

Partly cloudy

Above 15 degrees celsius

Below 30 degrees celsius

I don't like to play basketball when it snows or rains because the ball and court are slippery. Also because in extremely cold conditions you can get sick.

Equipment

I like to play basketball with a net, rim and backboard because it makes it easier to make the ball go in the hoop. I like to play on a basketball court because it has markings for the 3 point line, free throw line, out of bounds etc. Lastly, pumped basketball makes it easier to dribble and takes less energy

Drinks

I like to drink cold water because it keeps be hydrated and also cold water is more refreshing on a hot summer day. Gatorade keeps me energised and has electrolytes which keep me going even if I get tired. Soda provides good flavour and is also refreshing like the other drinks. I would avoid hot drinks like coffee because on a hot day they make my throat feel like it's suffocating. They also aren't refreshing and keep me thirsty.

Refreshments

I like to eat chips because I'm usually hungry while playing cricket so this makes for a nice quick and easy snack. The juice and fruits are refreshing and flavourful. Lastly, the cold water keeps me hydrated and energised.

Equipment

I like to play with a wooden bat because it has a solid and strong grip. I like to use a soft cricket ball to prevent injuries and also so it's easier to hit a soft ball with a bat compared to a hard ball. The wickets help avoid arguments and controversial decision because we'll have a better idea of if someone is out or not.

Weather

I like windy conditions because the ball turns and spins in the wind, which makes it easier for the baller to get the batter out. I chose the temperature I chose because it's not cold but it's not too hot to the point where you can't run anymore.

Windy

15-20 degrees celsius

I don't like to play in the snow and rain because it's wet and slippery. This causes the ball to not bounce as much but more importantly it can cause injuries. I also don't like to play in extremely cold weather because it can make your hands numb and lead to frostbite.

Weather

I like sunny conditions for picnics because
when I'm out in the open sitting on the ground I would like it to be warm. Another advantage of being in the open is receiving sunlight which is also why I prefer sunny weather.

Sunny

25-30 degrees celsius

I don't like snowy conditions for picnics because snow causes the ground and its surroundings to be wet and cold, which aren't ideal for picnics because you are out in the open. The reason I don't like windy weather is because it can blow items you brought away and also blow things you don't want in your space.

Items

Food & Beverages

I would bring snacks like chips and cookies because they come in small portions, you don't have to heat them up, and they're sharable so you can give them to your friends and family. Juice is my preferred beverage for picnics because they are refreshing on a hot day, and most importantly they taste good.

Entertainment

I like to bring board games because they're competitive but not too competitive. In addition, there's a variety of board games so there's always something for everyone. I like to bring water balloons because they help cool people down on a hot day in a fun and entertaining manner.

Items

I would bring an extra pair of clothing because
If my normal clothes get dirty, I can change into my extra clothing. I would bring my phone so I can take photos, call my parents, and use online payment options for food. I would bring sunscreen, so I don't get sun burned. I would bring a portable fan because it's easy to carry around and it can keep me cool and not as exhausted.

Weather

I like to go to the zoo in mostly sunny conditions because that's when the animals I like are out. Also, because staying outside for that long could make me sick. The reason I say mostly sunny and not fully sunny is because too much sun can make me feel more exhausted and tired.

Mostly sunny

20-30 degrees celsius

Conditions

I star gaze at night because that's when the stars are visible. In addition, it's more peaceful at night which adds to the experience. The reason I like a slight breeze is because it's refreshing and feel calming after sitting at inside for an extended period of time.

Pleasent

I don't like star gazing during the day because
it's almost impossible to see the stars. Also, because there's a lot of external sounds which distracts you form the stars. The reason I don't like rain is because when you look up at the stars your face will be wet which will negatively impact your visibility as well.

Daytime

Company

I would like to star gaze with my friends because I feel like star gazing is a good time to have deep and philosophical discussions, and I enjoy having those with my friends the most. The reason I said close friends is because my other friends who don't know me that well might judge me.

Weather

I don't like snowy weather because
it's dangerous to ride your bike in that weather. It gets slippery when it snows, and you can fall and get hurt. I don't like extremely freezing weather because it's easy to catch a cold.

Snowing

-5 degrees or below

I like sunny weather for biking because
that's when my friend's bike, and I like biking with my friends. I like above 15 degrees and sunny so I can tan in a fun way.

15 degrees or above

Objects I need

The bike is self-explanatory because I need to ride my bike for biking. I need water so I can stay hydrated and not get thirsty. I need my phone so I can see where I am going. Lastly, I need a hoodie just in case it gets cold or snows outside.

Equipment/gear

I would need goggles so I can see underwater without my eyes hurting from all the chlorine and water going in. I need shorts because they're flexible for swimming. I would also take a floatation device in case I'm sinking or tired.

Weather

I wouldn't swim when it's snowing or under 5 degrees because I'd get sick, and it also hurts and makes my body gets numb.

Snowing

I like sunny weather for swimming because the water feels better when it's warm. I also like warmer weather for swimming because it helps you cool off on a hot day.

Sunny

25-40 degrees Celsius

Items/Purpose

You would need a grill and charcoal for barbecue
because they enhance the flavor and barbecue taste. Seasonings also help bring flavor and make the food less bland. The meats are usually the base of barbecues, and the veggies complement them well. This is one of the few cooking methods done outside and I'm a foody, so this is one of my favorite things to do outside. My dad also grills so this helps me bond with him and learn from him.

Things to bring

I would bring a phone so if I lose the people, I came with I can call them and find them. Also, I can take pictures and videos to remember the memories. I would need a ticket to enter the park, and I would need a wallet to pay for food or accessories. And most importantly, I would want my family and friends to keep me busy so I don't get bored, and also so I can spend time with them and share these memories.

Weather

I would want windy weather because
when I go on the rides, I can feel the breeze blow by and get that weird tingle in my stomach which adds to the experience. I would want sunny weather because it means I don't have to wear a jacket or boots, which feel heavy.

Food and beverages

I like barbecue for camping because the cooking process happens outside, and it can be a main course. I like pizza because it's more filling. I chose sodas as the drinks I like because they're flavorful and pair well with pizza. I like smore's as my dessert because you make it yourself and you could use the campfire.

Activities

I chose these games because they're all different and easy to learn and play. Also, because you don't need anything extra for them, all you need is yourself and other people.
