Playing games on long journeys
Toby
I love playing multiplayer games on my tablet when my family drives to the beach. My brother sits next to me, and we always play car racing games together. It is very exciting! We need the internet to play, so my dad shares his phone connection with us. Sometimes the game stops when we drive through the mountains. I tried playing on my phone once, but the tablet is much better. I always win because I practice a lot at home.
Maya
When my family goes on long car journeys, I always use my tablet to play puzzle games. I usually play against the computer. My parents do not like it when I use their mobile data. So, I always download the games before we leave home. That way, I can play anywhere without the internet. My sister has a small phone, but I play on my tablet because the pictures are very large. It is never difficult to see what is happening.
Leo
My friends and I love the same adventure games. When my family goes on a long trip, I play with them on my tablet. They are in their own cars, so I wear a headset to speak to them while we play. We build big cities together! Playing online for a long time uses a lot of power. My tablet often goes black. Now, I always remember to put a special cable in my bag to connect it to the car.

Camping Trip: Charging Your Devices
Sun Charger
Do you love camping in the summer? A sun charger is a great way to keep your phone working. You just put it outside on the grass. It needs a bright sky to work well. You cannot use it inside your tent or when it is dark. It is very light to carry in your bag. If it rains, do not worry! Most sun chargers are safe in wet weather. This charger is perfect for long trips when you are away from home for a week.
Battery Pack
A battery pack is very popular for weekend camping trips. You must remember to charge it fully at home before you leave. When your phone or tablet battery is low, just connect it to the pack with a cable. Some packs can charge two phones at the same time. This is useful if you are sharing a tent with a friend. It works perfectly in the dark. However, it is quite heavy, so it is not a good choice if you have to walk a long way.
Hand Charger
Did you forget to charge your phone at home? A hand charger can help. It does not need the sun or electricity from a wall. You just turn the handle with your hand to make power. It is hard work, and you must turn it for a long time to get a full battery. It is best to use this only when you need to make a quick phone call. Many of these chargers also have a small radio inside so you can enjoy some music.

12 C - Reason: To use the hand charger, you must "turn the handle with your hand to make power."

Booking cheap flights online
Lucas
My parents wanted to visit my grandparents in the north of our country. I looked for flights online. The tickets for Saturday were very expensive. I found out that flights on Tuesday are much cheaper. So, we changed our travel day. I did not use my phone to book. I used my dad's laptop. Our flight was at six o'clock in the morning, so we woke up really early! It was a great trip and my parents were happy we saved money.
Maya
My family wanted to go to the beach for a week. I downloaded a great new travel app on my phone. You can tell the app where you want to go. Then, it sends you a message when the ticket prices go down. One evening, I was in bed and my phone beeped at midnight. The flights were very cheap! I woke my dad up and we bought them immediately. We took big suitcases with us, but the flight was still a great price.
Ben
We went on a family holiday to Italy last month. My parents usually buy tickets from a shop, so I showed them how to use a travel website. They were surprised it was so easy! To get the cheapest tickets, we decided not to pay for big suitcases. We only packed small backpacks for the trip. I sent my friend a message about our cheap flights. He was very happy for us. We had a wonderful time exploring a new country!
