Begin by singing Raffi’s “Shake My Sillies Out.”
Puppet Show: The Adventures of Captain Cowardly and the Caped Klutz an original production by Paul Musser and Patrick Hoecherl. (We draped a blanket across two stools which we used for a stage and placed the overhead projector behind the blanket. We acted out part of the show with puppets and part of the show on the projector. It was pretty funny. See the script.
Rhyme: The Superhero Rhyme by Paul, Patrick, and Deanna.
Superhero, Superhero, jump up quick.
Superhero, Superhero, give a kick.
Superhero, Superhero, fly around.
Superhero, Superhero, touch the ground.
Superhero, Superhero, reach up high.
Superhero, Superhero, wink one eye.
Superhero, Superhero, smash a wall.
Superhero, Superhero, try not to fall.
Superhero, Superhero, run real fast.
Superhero, Superhero, done at last.
Book: Super Sam! by Lori Ries; illustrated by Sue Rama.
Activity: Superhero exercise! In order to fight crime (and fit into that tight suit) a superhero has to be in peak physical shape. We had the children do a few exercises such as running in place, jumping jacks, push-ups, sitting down/standing up, stretching, touching their toes, flying, and working out their ears (in order to hear when someone calls for help.) While we exercised we listened to the song, Mighty Mouse from the compact disc Toon Tunes: Action Packed Anthems.
Book: Just a Daydream by Mercer Mayer.
Poem: Twistable, Turnable Man, from the Shel Silverstein book, A Light in the Attic. (We read the poem while we played with a superhero puppet.)
Book: It’s Super Mouse! by Phyllis Root; illustrated by James Croft and found in the book, Mouse Has Fun. We made magnetic cut-outs that go along with the story which can be used on the magnetic chalkboard, in place of the actual book.
Activity: Superhero dress-up and flight! We used an overhead transparency which said, “Help!” and projected it onto the wall. Then we played the music to Superman while we took off our shirts revealing our superhero T-shirts and put on our capes! We had another librarian run into the room pleading for help – jewels had been stolen out of her purse. We asked the kids if they would help us and gave each one their very own red cape. We flew over to the Crystal Cave where we found the stolen jewels and successfully returned the jewels. Unfortunately, the jewel thieves got away. It was still a lot of fun though.
