Next is PLAINS. Plains are great if you want to have a picnic, run around, be alone with friends and so many other uses. A plain is an area of land that has hardly any trees or bushes, it's just a stretch of land that’s flat.
The Northeast is a great place to play hide and seek outdoors because it has FORESTS! Forests have tall trees and short trees, but watch your step, you don’t want to trip on some wood. You probably won’t see much light through the forest of leaves in the sky.
