Name the elaboration used here: I felt the rain drizzle down the side of my face, cooling off my temperature. It seemed to be coming down harder than it was before, creating a storm that was hard to see through. I squinted my eyes and hoped to see my mom's car pulling up shortly. It had been a very long day and I had a lot I needed to discuss with her about my day. As I stood there staring off into the distance, I felt a quick chill dance throughout my body and brushed my hand along the goose bumps on my arm as the cool breeze whisked by.

Name the elaboration used: You need to make sure you grab all of the game pieces from the box. If you notice any are missing you will want to make a correction before moving forward. Once they have been obtained, pass them out or have the other players pick the pieces that they want. I normally try to pick my "lucky" piece (the horse), so I can have a successful game. Then put all the pieces on the GO section of the board and roll the dice! As you roll the dice, pay attention to the number rolled, so you can move that many spaces ahead.

My favorite article of clothing is my green jacket because it gives me a kind of "camouflage" when I am playing with my brothers in the forest. One time, I was playing capture the flag with my brothers and I was very close to being the winner! The problem was that they were all ganging up on me and my friends and had their flag completely surrounded. I used my green jacket to blend into the forest-green surroundings. I was almost undetectable.

Name the elaboration used: Christian ran up to the wooden bridge that was separating the two cliffs. He thought for a second and then started sprinting across the rickety bridge. It swung from side to side and creaked so loud that it could be heard a mile away. Each step made the wood blister just a little bit more, and caused the ropes to dangerously stretch as far as they could. He felt his heart racing as he leaped across the last two of the boards to safety.

One reason that I really enjoy the beach is because it is a great place to hang out with friends. My parents normally let me bring friends with me so that they can relax and enjoy the surf. For me, that makes it much more enjoyable! For example, Anish and Alexis came with me to the beach one time last month and turned a very monotonous day upside down. We stumbled upon an abandoned surfboard that had been left behind or lost. Anish immediately grabbed a hold of the 8 foot find of the century, looked at Alexis and me with a twisted grin, and motioned us to follow him as he headed toward the vast blue ocean to catch some waves.
