Show don't tell stories

We are learning to write "show don't tell stories".  In order to be clever writers we need to give clues to the reader of where we are or what we are doing.  "Show don't tell" stories give clues by being clever with our vocabulary and our sentences.

Can you tell what these "show don't tell" stories are about?

I was playing on the adventure playground. I climbed up the ladder and sat down when I got to the top. Then sat down and pushed.  I went up and down because it was bumpy. When I got to the bottom I went around, it was fun. I slipped down very fast.

I am on the adventure playground! I climbed up the really small ladder onto the wooden platform. And then I turned to my left past the ball spheres. And climbed another small ladder.  And held onto a small bar. My bottom slid down some blue plastic onto the ground.

I was at these metal bars. I climbed up the bars to a wooden platform. I saw ------more bars. I climbed up the bars to another platform. There was a metal bar at the top. I swung on the bar. “Weeee. !!” I said. I landed on a blue thing it was long and had two things on the blue thing. It was going down I landed on stones.

I am in the playground. I climb up the ladder to the platform. Then I turned and climbed up the other three steps. Then on another platform.  Then turned and sat down. Then I pushed and slipped down the blue thing and landed on some stones and stood up.
