The animated film pauses for Pause and Predict and Choose the Ending, then students run the Good Sport Relay story game, name feelings with the Feelings Thermometer, catch good sport actions in the Good Sport Catcher, build their own avatar and earn the Good Sport Champion badge. The story All week, Ben practises for Sports Day. He leads the race, but near the end Sami runs past him and wins. The big red feeling rushes back and Ben shouts, "That's not fair!"
