3 Be a Superhero In much of today s culture, Superheroes are epitomised as having superhuman qualities and skills. However, all around us are real life superheroes In a nutshell, through using their superhero powers, superheroes save lives thousands of them! Our Doctors and nurses at Barnsley hospital save lives everyday so we think they are real life superheroes! This topic asks the children to consider this through active exploration of superheroes. We have made some suggestions as to how this could work in your classroom but you are the experts the superheroes in fact, and so we would love to hear the activities that have taken place in your classroom with your little super heroes! To compliment this scheme of work the charity would love to come into your school and speak in assembly or during class time about the super work carried out by our Doctors and Nurses at their local hospital. During the talk we can let the students know exactly what they will be supporting using case studies.

4 Superhero Storytime Primary School Personal Social & Emotional Development Communications & Language Mathematics Understanding the World Physical Development Expressive Arts & Design Superhero Story Time & Superhero Story Writing Communications & Language Understanding the World Choose a story that is about a Superhero. Talk to the children about what makes him/her a superhero. What qualities make a superhero? If they could be a superhero what would they choose as their special power? Thinking about the qualities that make a superhero, can they identify some superheroes in their life? Have they been saved by a superhero and in what way? How do everyday people such as Doctors and Nurses act as Superheroes? Ask the children to write their own superhero story. Ask them to think about how they will look, what is their name, do they have a secret identity, what is their super power. What do they do with their powers?

5 Cont. Superhero Training Camp Cool down: Encourage children to walk around as slowly as they can without touching anything. Child Initiated Activities: X-ray Vision Game This game tests our x-ray vision powers. Put all kinds of items in a box and let the children (who have something covering their eyes) identify them without sight, only touch or smell. This can be as creative as you like Kryptonite Toss Take some cardboard boxes and decorate them as apartment buildings. The "kryptonite" are ping pong balls painted bright green or green bean bags. Have the children throw the "kryptonite" into the "planets" and see how many they can throw in, every time throwing from a tougher distance. Squirt the villain Using washing up bottles filled with water; squirt the villain figures off their podiums. Super Hero Hunt The children are to capture as many villains as they can find. They must locate the superheroes and villains located around the place, tick them off on the clipboard, write their name on the sheet and then when you have found them all collect your superhero sticker. Top Superhero tip Why not have a sponsored event that showcases the superhero skills learnt at training camp? You could do a sponsored jump, a sponsored silence (which helps when being invisible!). How about a sponsored walk to the park whilst wearing your superhero capes and masks and completing tasks at the park in a superhero fashion! It could be a superhero day!.
