Have you ever wanted to write for a comic-strip hero or heroine?

Well now thanks to Premier League Primary Stars and the National Literacy Trust you can.

Each week Premier League Primary Stars helps families keep their children educated and entertained with the Friday Family Challenge.

If you like talking and football - or even talking about football - then this week's challenge promises to be another fun-filled activity for everyone to enjoy.

We have teamed up with the National Literacy Trust and would like you and your family to complete your own comic-strip by filling in the speech bubbles on the Roy of the Rovers: Kick Off template.

There are two options for you to choose from, Roy's football match or his sister's, Rocky.

Use your imagination to create your own special story.

Watch author Tom Palmer set the challenge in the video above.

And from Monday 13 July, the Premier League are taking over the Family Zone on the National Literacy Trust website, where there will be even more great football-related activities to enjoy. You will also be able to download a free copy of Palmer’s book "Roy of the Rovers: Kick Off".

Not only that but at 11:30am on Monday, Palmer will be taking part in a Facebook Live Q&A hosted by Ben Shires, where he will discuss his journey from reluctant reader to author.

There's so much to look forward to, but don't forget to share your completed Friday Family Challenge comic strip with us for a chance to win a special prize for your school!

You can get in touch by email plprimarystars@premierleague.com or tweet @PLCommunities and @Literacy_Trust using the hashtag #PLPrimaryStars.
