This Fall nearly 150 1st and 2nd grade Jr. SCORES participants discovered soccer and creative writing through an imaginary trip to play in the Space Soccer Jamboree. The Juniors were the main characters in a children’s story written and illustrated all about them and their SCORES season, but with an extraterrestrial twist.

The story prompted students to work on a series of writing and drawing activities to complete their journey through space. Throughout their travels, students saved the Rhyme Rocket from running out of rhymes, created team flags, wrote letters home, and performed a poem to break a tie in the championship game.
