Another script from Anne, who shares:
“This is not a hard-core, high-frequency, work-it-for-a-week-or-two script. It is a way to build fun and laughter into the class, at a time when the class may sorely need it. Note that soccer is a variable that you can replace depending on the season, but be sure to change the term for goal to reflect the sport (marquer un but in soccer, marquer un panier in basketball, etc. – Judy is it marquer un panier?) It’s also best done starring an actual player of that sport.”

Avery plays soccer for the French national team. Today there is a game between the French national team and the American national team. Avery plays very well. He scores 15 goals.
All of a sudden he breaks a leg. “Are you all right?” the coach asks him. “Yes, I’m fine,” says Avery. He continues to play with a broken leg. He scores another 22 goals.
All of a sudden he breaks his back. “Are you all right?” the coach asks him. “Yes, I’m fine,” says Avery. He continues to play with a broken leg and back. He scores another 36 goals.
All of a sudden he breaks his neck. “Are you all right?” the coach asks him. “Yes, I’m fine,” says Avery. He continues to play with a broken neck, leg and back. He scores another 41 goals.
All of a sudden he breaks a fingernail. “Owwwwwwwwwwwww!” he screams. “Are you all right?” asks the coach. “No!” screams Avery. “I want my Mommy!”
Note: it is fun to keep a running tab of goals scored on the board. It’s also good if you can pick an actor who will actually try to pretend to play soccer with all of those broken body parts.
