Ответ:
1. They were playing games in the game centre when I saw them.
(форма глагола должна выражать процесс, длительное действие, для этого нужно использовать past continuous)
2. On Saturday, although it was raining, I went to the fun fair with my friends. ✔ (correct)
3. In the evening we went to cinemas and theatres.
(Поскольку кинотеатры и театры написаны во множ. числе, речь идёт о часто повторявшихся действиях в прошлом, и значит, нужно использовать Past Simple)
4. It was summer but it was snowing when I woke up.
(когда проснулся, шёл снег - это длительное действие)
5. I arrived home in the morning, then I slept all day.
(Здесь мы просто называем действия, их длительность не важна)
