Once upon a time in the sunny town of Greenfield, there was a boy named Elias who loved to play soccer in his backyard.
Pretend to kick a soccer ball.
Every day after school, Elias would rush home, change into his sports gear, and dribble his old soccer ball around.
Mimic changing into sports clothes.
One afternoon, Elias saw a flyer at school for football classes. His heart leapt with excitement!
Act out Elias's excitement.
He hurried home to ask his parents if he could join. They agreed, seeing his eager eyes.
Clap your hands with joy.
Elias practiced more than ever now. With each class, he learned new skills and made friends.
Show a thumbs-up for making new friends.
Their coach announced they'd be playing in a local championship! Elias and his team practiced even harder.
Act out practicing with a team.
On the day of the championship, Elias felt nervous but excited. The stadium was huge, and the crowd cheered loudly.
Put your hands over your ears as if hearing a loud crowd.
The whistle blew and the game began! Elias ran across the field, staying close to the ball.
Run on the spot.
At halftime, the score was tied. Elias and his team huddled together, knowing they could still win.
Huddle up closely with others.
With only minutes left in the game, Elias saw his chance. He took a deep breath and sprinted toward the goal.
Act out taking a deep breath and sprinting.
He kicked with all his might, and the ball flew past the goalie into the net. Goal!
Jump up and cheer as if scoring a goal.
Elias's team won the championship! They lifted him onto their shoulders, celebrating a great victory together.
Lift your arms in triumph.
