I'd like to take my bike to the park.

Who would you take? Mum, Dad, my brother Michael and my sisters Rachel and Leanne.

What would you do? Go on the roundabout, the big slide and push Leanne on the swings.

What would you eat? Ribena and ham sandwiches.

How much would you need? Nothing. The park is free.

Sebastian, 11

I'd do graffiti at this legal venue near my house and then play football.

Who would you take? My friends Jake, Raif, Justin and Felix.

What would you do? I'd do the graffiti with Jake, then in the afternoon play football.

What would you eat? Calzone and a smoothie.

How much would you need? About £10.

Ben, 13

I'd like an active day playing tennis, football and cricket.

Who would you take? My friends Jamie, Mitchel, Victor and Daniel.

What would you do? We'd go to the common, where they have tennis courts, too.

What would you eat? Treats like a hot dog or a burger and a Coke to drink.

How much would you need? About £20 to hire the court and buy lunch.

Cara, 15

I'd like to go paintballing.

Who would you take? I'd go with my friends Finn, Lily, Fiona and Sarah.

What would you do? We'd spend the day running round the woods splattering each other with paint.

What would you eat? Toasted ciabatta and pressed apple juice.

How much would you need? About £30.
