Watching a game with a giant cheering crowd. Read it together, at your pace. Every page is written in your child's voice.
1. Today we are going to watch a big sports game. Lots of people come to watch and cheer for their team.
2. The stadium is huge. We show tickets at the gate, then find our seats by section, row, and number. There is a lot of walking and stairs.
Crowds move like slow rivers. It smells like popcorn and grass. Music plays over big speakers.

3. Honest part: when something exciting happens, the whole crowd ROARS at once. It can be very sudden and very loud. It usually lasts a few seconds, then fades to chatter.
Thousands of voices at once feels like a wave of sound. Some people jump up fast. Horns or buzzers may blast.

4. The game has parts with breaks in between. During breaks, people get snacks or stretch. Breaks are a good time for me to take a walk with a grown-up if I need one.
5. I have choices. I can cheer loud, clap quietly, or just watch — all are fine ways to be a fan. I can wear my ear covers the whole time. I can ask, "How much of the game is left?"
6. If it gets to be too much, I can tell my grown-up. We can go to the hallway where it is quieter, and come back when I am ready. Leaving early is also okay. Taking care of my body is never wrong.
7. When the game ends, everyone leaves at once, so the exits are slow and crowded. We hold hands, take our time, and walk out together. Then the game day is done, win or lose.
In the app, your child can choose what happens next, rehearse lines out loud with Spark, and try different endings — including hearing a kind "no" and being celebrated for respecting it. Parents can also create fully personalized stories.
