You lose three points.. As a line of players kick soccer balls toward you, you must "head" the soccer ball, in order to score points. Occasionally, the players will kick shoes and panda balls in your direction. Getting hit with a shoe will cost one point, but having the misfortune of being hit with a panda ball will cost three points.

What reward do you receive, when you score ninety or more points in an activity?

You receive a four star rating.. For most of the activities and games, there is a scoring system based on your performance. You can earn a maximum of one hundred points on many of the activities.
