【解析】

1.这些孩子们通过玩捉迷藏游戏，让自己开心。表示“让自己开心”，所以用反身代词，填themselves。

2.“孩子们”和“逗乐”之间是被动关系，所以用被动语态，且由时间状语that day，可判断出是发生在过去的事情，综上所述，用一般过去时的被动语态，所以填were amused。

3.to one’s amusement让人感到好笑的是，是固定短语，所以填amusement。

4.watch后接省略to的不定式作宾语补足语时，一般表示动作发生的过程已经结束，所以填react。

5.作suffered的宾语，用名词，所以填reaction。

6.句意：公众对罗宾逊夫人的决定是什么反应？这里需要使用名词，所以填reaction。

7.作动词invented的宾语，用名词，所以填reaction。

8.作句子主语用名词，且表示复数意义，所以填reactions。
