Good question, Ekk! This definitely will help other English learners improve their vocabulary! Here are my answers:
1) Some might call it a "bookshelf". Since no books are placed in it, I would call it an "organizer" or "cubby". It may actually have many uses.
2) I would call this character a "theme park character" or an "amusement park character". The green item that is being worn by the person is a "costume". Here, it is a "frog costume".
3) This structure can have a few names in English: gazebo (may be round, square, or rectangular in shape; a permanent structure) and pavilion (usually this usually gives the idea/image of a temporary or portable seating area...one with a tent covering). Often, people call the area where you find this structure a "rest area".
4) This is a "contest drawing box" or a "drawing box".
5) This is a "parking structure" or a "parking garage". It may be underground or above ground. It usually has many levels, too. Most times a person must pay to park his vehicle here.

I think your English is good enough to describe all these. Do not think too much. I believe your own answer can be better than mine, and they are right.
