Imagine! Summer Reading Club: 2-6s Week 3

During week 3, we all pretended to be superheros. These are the activities we did this week at the Summer Reading Club.

Song: Head & Shoulders (superhero warm-up)

Head and shoulders, knees and toes.

Knees and toes, knees and toes,

          Head and shoulders, knees and toes,

          Eyes, ears, mouth, and nose.

Song: The Hokey Pokey Superhero Style

You put your right glove in.

You put your right glove out.

You put your right glove in and you shake it all about.

You do the super hokey and you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about.

You put your right boot in…

You put your utility belt in…

You put your mask in…

You put your cape in…

Your put your whole costume in…

Game: Four Corners –Pick someone to be "it." This person stands at the front with her back to the group. Designate 4 corners with a different superhero name and picture. Start the kids at the center and have them find a corner to stand in, while “it” counts to 10. The "it" person, without looking, calls a superhero. Eliminate the players in the corner that was called out. These players sit down in the middle, where they started. Call out for them to pick a new corner. Repeat until only one player is left. This person is "it" next.

Game: Pass - All the superheroes need to work together to roll the ball back and forth.
