Answer: When I was a child, I used to enjoy playing outdoor games, reading books, and spending time with friends.

Example: For example, I used to play tag, hide-and-seek, and other games with my friends in the park. I also loved to read books about fantasy and adventure, and would spend hours lost in the pages.
