During week 3, we pretended to be superheros. These are the activities we did this week at the Summer Reading Club for the 7-8 and 9-12 groups.
Activity:
X-ray Vision Game – A bag/pillowcase is filled with different objects. Each
person reaches in the bag and guesses an object without looking.
Activity:
Obstacle Course
a. Walk the “tightrope” with one
foot.
b. Crawl under a few chairs.
c. Go up a small ladder and jump.
d. Jump through hula hoops.
e. Bunny hop or frog jump.
f.
Pop
10 bubbles while hopping on one foot.
g. Throw discs at the robot villain.
Activity:
The Best Game - Form 2 teams. A category (ex. Tallest) is named and the group
picks their best candidate to send forward. Then they hear the full category (Tallest
thumb) and a winner is named and given a certificate.
Game:
Ready, aim, throw! – Form groups of 2 - one is blindfolded and the other is the
leader. The blindfolded person is given verbal instructions by the leader. The
goal is to hit another player with a beanbag (underhand throws only). Once hit,
the person sits down. Only the blindfolded person can touch the beanbag.
Game:
Save the world – A villain has dropped a bomb (beach ball or balloon) above our
town. All the superheroes need to work together to keep it from touching the
ground.
Craft: Superhero mask
and belt – Cut a square belt and a mask out of foam. Attach string on each side of the mask, and
ribbon on the belt, so they can be tied on. Decorate them with foam pieces,
markers, and feathers.
Try to think of a fun superhero name for yourself!
