=**__Why Children Should Play Sport__**=

=
It is good to play a sport, especially since t is a good way to get out of the house, excercise and have fun. Most sport involves teamwork which is a great way to make friends. It also keeps you fit if you try hard enough. This can give you a big boost when you win sports awards.=====

Alot of children stay inside all weekend and do nothing but watch television and/or play video games. They are just wasting the sunshine. Whereas the kids who play sport actually go outside for some decent minutes excercise and have fun outdoors.

Most sports involve teamwork which is a great way to make friends. Teamwork involves great sportsmanship, working together and playing as a team.

The All Blacks have won the R.W.C twice. That's a really great achievement. They won it because they loved playing rugby and never stopped playing rugby and gave themselves every chance of winning the World cup.

So it is good to play sport. Having fun and excercise at the same time is much better than sitting on the couch watching pixels change colour.

My mum drives us up the steep hill as my friends jabber in the back about who's going to cry or who's going to run back to the start. As we near the house we see some odd, dead trees that you might see in a movie with witches in it.====== We park in the space next to the creepy cabin. We jump out of the and dash for the door so we don't get wet from all the rain. We walk up to the counter and buy cola refreshments and some candy floss. Mum tells us to go to the man in an orange prisoner outfit. "Okay kids, please stand behind the blue line and we will take a memorial picture of you if you don't make it. Alright?" asks the prisoner. We slowly nod, Fred nearly faints. "Smile," we all smile and a rather long piece of steel goes under our necks so we all scream. The prisoner laughs and shows us our picture. It turns out there is a zombie ninja-looking guy that has his sword under our throats. Closer examination shows the sword is plastic.

The prisoner opens the door and we walk in then 'SLAM' the door shuts behind us. It's pitch black and then an evil laugh comes over a hidden speaker causing Fred to sprint off in the darkness, George chases after him and I chase after George. We run behind a curtain. I hear a blood curling scream down the stairs. "It's Fred!" yells George. What happens next is all too fast...

A loud moan comes from behind us, then another and another. A horde of zombies come out from the room we were just in and then stare at us. Then they sprint towards us, making us scream. We run down stairs and find the room we had heard of that Fred has now run into. "The Dental Clinic, " whispers George. We look though the peep hole and see Fred lying on a table. Next to him is a dentist covered in a sky blue uniform covered in red blood. George faints. All this has become too much for me too and then I blackout.

I awake with my Mum laughing at me, with a worried tone in it. "I am not doing that again," says Fred with some colourful teeth, then I start to laugh.
