Superhero

(sung to: Wheels on the Bus)

The Superheroes arms flex and lift,

Flex and lift, flex and lift, the superheroes arms flex and lift, all around the town.

Eyes go zap, zap, zap

Legs run very fast

Legs jump super high

The person in trouble yells help help help!

The superhero goes to save the day

If you’re a hero and you know it !

(Sung to: If you’re happy and you know it)

If you’re a hero and you know it flex your muscles.

Verses: Jump up high, Fly around, Run real fast

MOVEMENT ACTIVITY: Superhero Action Cards

Find images by doing google image searches for: spiderman jumping – catwoman climbing – the flash running – aquaman swimming – superman flying. Add the words for the action at the bottom of the picture and print out. Adhere to cardboard or construction paper to make stronger

ACTION SONG: If You’re a Superhero and You Know It (Tune: If you’re happy and you know it)

If you’re Superman and you know it, fly through the sky If you’re Superman and you know it, fly through the sky If you’re Superman and you know it, than your pose will surely show it If you’re Superman and you know it, fly through the sky

If you’re Spiderman and you know it, jump up high…..

If you’re the Flash and you know it, run super-fast…..

If you’re Catwoman and you know, climb a building…..

If you’re Aquaman and you know it, swim through the ocean…..

ACTION GAME: Superhero Freeze Game

Directions: Put on some superhero music (like Superman March by Cincinnati Pops Orchestra.)

Hold up one of the superhero action cards and have your family start moving around the room performing the action on the card (e.g. start swimming around the room like Aquaman.)

When you hold up a new card, your family change their action. You can either announce the change, or, quietly hold up the card and see who sees it first! As an additional element, make a card that says “FREEZE.”

Note: You might want to practice each action ahead of time and have the children practice running in place as fast as they can if you are indoors (rather than running around the room.)

TP Roll Super Hero Cuffs

http://www.readingconfetti.com/2013/08/tp-roll-super-hero-cuffs.html

We made super hero cuffs from toilet paper rolls. We started by painting the empty rolls with metallic paint. (You want to paint the rolls and let them dry before you cut into them.)

When they were dry, I cut a slit along one side and rounded the corners.

Finally, we added some glittery stickers and they were ready to wear.

My son wanted lightning bolts for his cuffs. Since we didn't have any stickers that shape, I drew some lightning bolts on craft foam and he cut them out and glued them in place. (He also sprinkled on glitter before the paint dried.)

I think they turned out even cuter than the stickers.

Spiderman Web Directions: Paint paper plate red & let dry. Punch holes around edge. Have child

lace with yarn to create a web. Add Spiderman sticker.
