Transcript: It's Time to Play Football
As a theme song plays, a little girl, JoJo walks along a street, holding hands with an elderly grey-haired woman, Gran Gran. A man walking a dog, waves before being pulled away by the dog. It starts to rain. JoJo and Gran Gran hold green umbrellas and wear raincoats. It is springtime and pink blossoms bloom on trees in a park. Butterflies fly in a sunny blue sky. JoJo does a cartwheel and rolls down a hill. Gran Gran rolls down after her. JoJo tosses autumn leaves in the air. A man builds a snowman on a sidewalk. Gran Gran and JoJo walk by in coats and scarves. It is warmer weather and JoJo takes Gran Gran’s hand. Gran Gran opens a front gate to JoJo’s home.
(Theme music plays)
A person sings, JOJO AND GRAN GRAN
TAKE MY HAND
AND COME WITH ME
ON A JOURNEY THROUGH
OUR STREETS
WE'LL SAY HELLO TO
EVERYBODY THAT WE MEET
THROUGH THE YEAR,
AS SEASONS CHANGE
EXPLORING EVERY DAY
TAKE OUR TIME
TO STOP AND PLAY
AND WHEN THE SPRINGTIME
BLOSSOM TURNS TO SUMMER SUN
JOJO LIKES TO GET OUTSIDE
GRAN GRAN ALWAYS
MAKES IT FUN
WHEN THE AUTUMN RAINFALL
TURNS TO WINTER SNOW
I KNOW A SPECIAL PLACE,
A PLACE WHERE WE CAN GO
TAKE MY HAND,
WE'RE HEADING HOME
WITH JOJO AND GRAN GRAN
JoJo says, IT'S TIME TO PLAY FOOTBALL.
Gran says, IT WAS AN AUTUMN DAY, THE LEAVES WERE CHANGING COLOUR AND FALLING FROM THE TREES, AND JOJO AND GRAN GRAN - THAT'S ME - WERE SKIPPING THROUGH THE PARK.
Jared says, LOOK OUT!
Cynthia says, WATCH OUT!
JoJo says, WHOA!
A soccer ball bounces off a tree and JoJo catches it.
Gran Gran says, OOH! GOOD CATCH, JOJO.
Cynthia says, WHOOPS! SORRY, YOU TWO.
JoJo says, CYNTHIA! JARED!
Jared says, HEY, JOJO, GRAN GRAN!
Jared and JoJo slap hands and bump fists.
Gran Gran says, WHAT ARE YOU TWO UP TO?
Cynthia says, JARED AND I ARE GETTING READY FOR A BIG FOOTBALL GAME. WE PLAY EVERY WEEK.
Jared says, OUR TEAM ARE CALLED THE ROCKETS AND WE'RE PLAYING AGAINST OUR FRIENDS...
Jared does a robotic voice, ...THE ROBOTS.
Cynthia says, THE WINNERS OF THE BIG GAME GET THAT TROPHY.
Cynthia points to a silver cup.
Jared says, AND THIS WEEK, DRIBBLIN' JARED IS GOING TO SCORE THE MOST GOALS!
JoJo looks puzzled and says, DRIBBLING?
Jared says, THIS IS DRIBBLING!
Jared kicks the ball and moves it around Gran Gran and JoJo.
JoJo says, WHOA! FOOTBALL LOOKS REALLY FUN, GRAN GRAN.
Cynthia says, YOU KNOW WE COULD DO WITH ANOTHER PLAYER, JOJO.
Jared asks, YEAH! DO YOU FANCY JOINING THE ROCKETS FOR A GAME OF FOOTBALL?
Gran Gran says, THAT SOUNDS LIKE A GREAT IDEA.
JoJo jumps and says, YES!
Jared says, AWESOME! LET'S PLAY FOOTBALL!
A boy in a green striped shirt says, YOU HAVE TO SCORE MORE GOALS THAN THE OTHER TEAM OR YOU LOSE, AND IF YOU SCORE MORE THAN THE OTHER TEAM, YOU WIN.
A girl with black hair says, HOW MANY GOALS CAN YOU SCORE?
A boy in an orange shirt, frowns and says, ABOUT... ONCE, I'VE SCORED... ...THREE - A HAT TRICK.
A girl in a turtleneck sweater says, LOTS OF PEOPLE, LIKE, THEY'LL WEAR THINGS FOR THEIR TEAM. LIKE SORT OF, IF THEY WERE SUPPORTING A RED TEAM, THEY WOULD WEAR LIKE A RED TOP OR RED TROUSERS.
The boy in the green striped shirt says, WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING FOOTBALL, YOU NEED TO HAVE A NUMBER ON YOUR BACK AND A NAME ON YOUR BACK.
A girl in a red shirt says, I DON'T LIKE FOOTBALL BECAUSE IT'S KIND OF BORING, AND YOU'RE JUST RUNNING AROUND WITH A BALL, THAT'S ALL.
A boy in a blue shirt laughs.
The boy in the green striped shirt says, I'M GOOD AT FOOTBALL BECAUSE I'VE PLAYED IT A LOT OF TIMES.
The girl with dark hair and the boy in the orange shirt, raise their fists. Both say, GOAL!
The boy in the orange shirt says, YES!
A blonde-haired girl and the boy in the green striped shirt, wave their arms and shout,
GOAL!
Cynthia and JoJo stretch. Jared runs to Gran Gran, who is sitting on a park bench.
Jared says, DON'T GET TOO COMFY GRAN GRAN; WE'VE GOT A JOB FOR YOU.
EVERY GAME OF FOOTBALL NEEDS A REFEREE.
Gran Gran says, OH! SAY NO MORE, JARED. I USED TO REFEREE YOUR DAD'S FOOTBALL GAMES.
JoJo says, GRAN GRAN, WHAT'S A REFEREE?
JoJo says, A REFEREE IS IN CHARGE OF THE GAME AND TELLS YOU WHEN IT'S TIME TO START AND STOP PLAYING.
Cynthia says, WE PLAY A TIMED GAME WITH TWO HALVES. OTHERWISE, WE'D GO ON FOR HOURS.
(Singing)
WE ARE THE ROBOTS
HERE COME THE ROBOTS
A bearded man says, HELLO, ROCKETS! READY TO LOSE THAT TROPHY TO THE ROBOTS?
Cynthia says, HA, NOT A CHANCE, EZRA, NOT WITH SUPER-SKILLED CYNTHIA ON THE PITCH. HA!
Jared says, YOU BETTER WATCH OUT, TOO, TERRENCE. WE HAVE A NEW STAR PLAYER.
JoJo says, HI, EZRA. HI, TERRENCE!
Ezra says, OH, HELLO, JOJO. WELL, WE ROBOTS HAVE OUR OWN STAR PLAYER, TOO - MY GRANDSON, JAXON!

Ezra says, WELL DONE, YOU TWO. GREAT GAME SO FAR.
JoJo and Jaxon eat orange segments.
(JoJo sighing)
JoJo says, WE DIDN'T SCORE ANY GOALS, GRAN GRAN.
Gran Gran says, THERE'S STILL TIME, JOJO. YOU'VE STILL GOT THE SECOND HALF. DON'T GIVE UP.
JoJo says, BUT I'M NOT VERY GOOD AT KICKING THE BALL
Cynthia and Jared kick the ball back forth. It flies toward JoJo. She jumps and catches the ball.
Gran Gran says, BUT YOU ARE GOOD AT JUMPING, JOJO, AND CATCHING.
JoJo says, GRAN GRAN, YOU CAN'T CATCH IN FOOTBALL.
Gran Gran says, JOJO, I THINK IT'S TIME FOR A GRAN GRAN PLAN! THERE IS SOMEONE WHO CAN CATCH THE BALL IN FOOTBALL - THE GOALIE.
(Whistle blowing)

Another child says, FOOTBALL IS A SPORT WE PLAY IN A TEAM.
The first child says, THIS IS THE COACH, DAN. HE'S GOING TO HELP US.
