Participate is to take part in something or to get involved. The way this photo shows participation is by my cousins having their hands in. It shows that they are all taking part in a group activity. This photo was taken in my grandma's front yard.

Participating is important because you have to use it in your everyday life. To be in sports you must participate in the activity obviously or else they wouldn’t want you to play with them. At games players huddle together before a game and put their hands in to show that they all are going to put effort when they play.
