3 . Traditional American summer camps offer young people a chance to play many sports. These camps may be in the mountains.     1     Some camps teach activities like painting or music. Or they teach computer programming or foreign languages. Children at all kinds of camps meet new friends.

Some children go to camp during the day and return home at night.     2     Children stay at an overnight camp for between one and eight weeks. Parents need to pay. Children from poor families might not have a chance to attend summer camps. The Fresh Air Fund is a well-known organization.

    3     Each summer it sends ten thousand poor children to stay with families in the country or to five camps in New York State.

    4     Many American women now work outside the home. Working parents need a place where their children can be cared for during the summer when they are not in school.

Young people who like the arts can learn about painting, music, acting or writing. Camps that offer programs in science and environmental studies are popular, too. There are also camps for older children who like wilderness adventure.     5     Or, they go rock-climbing or horse-riding.

10 . This New Year, it may be time to include a little football in your family traditions. Maybe the grandkids are old enough to play.     1    . No matter how you spend your holiday, a good game of pick-up football might just be what you need to make your New Year more interesting.

Most people already know the basic rules of football. There are a few choices you can make about how seriously or how informally you want to play. Team sizes will depend on the number of people you have in your group.     2    . But you can include many more if you have the number.

    3    , you will also want to figure out a scoring plan or decide how long you want to play. If you’ve got a group of friends together, you may want to play a longer, more serious game. A family group, made up of people of various ages and physical abilities, may prefer to limit the game to a shorter period of time, or end the game when one team has scored five or ten points.

Even if you have people who aren’t able to play or aren’t interested in playing, you can still include these people in the fun of the game.     4    , you can set up chairs for the watchers. They can also cheer for players, making it more enjoyable.

Over the New Year, a game of football is a great way to break up the day.     5    .
