    This educational video is about American football. American football is a high-contact, strategic team sport played with an oval-shaped ball on a 100-yard field. Two teams of 11 players compete to score points by advancing the ball into the opponent's end zone (touchdown) or kicking it through goalposts. It is characterized by alternating possessions, intense physical tackling, and, in the US, is the premier spectator sport. #educationalvideos #educationalvideosforchildren #educationalvideosforkids #sports #sportsvideo #sportsvideoforchildren

About Story Time with Avant-garde Books, LLC

Listening is the first essential language skill that humans use to learn. Babies and very young children cannot read, write, or speak, but by "hearing" rich vocabulary, they are later able to reproduce language structure and vocabulary in speaking and in writing. The infant brain is developing rapidly and it is critical that intellectual stimulation is nurtured. The truth is that children cannot produce what they have not heard and/or seen. Reading is critical to their language development and this is why the Avant-garde Books Team has created this special and engaging podcast.
