In this week’s program we’ll share with you some cool ways to hang out with your best friends after a busy week at school. Basically you can hang out indoors. If you like staying indoors, ask your parents if you can invite one or two friends over. Make some popcorn! Watch a movie! It’s more comfortable than going to a cinema! Or if you’re feeling creative, you can make crafts together—You’ll feel satisfied once you finish something. If you fancy being outdoors, play some sports together. Football, badminton, cycling… you name it! Or it can simply be a relaxing walk in the park. All these activities are good for your physical health. Do you prefer something more exciting? Go downtown and to do some people watch. It’s fun. If you like something more organised, go to cultural centres, libraries, and museums. Educate yourself while having fun!
