Our second game of the day was a kryptonite hunt. Hidden all around the outside of the library and through the trees were little balls of Kryptonite, we had to go on a hunt to see who could find the most. But just like Superman, we couldn't touch the Kryptonite, so the kids had to figure out a way to bring it back to the doors without using their hands. They used their elbows, feet, sweaters and even their teeth.
The last thing we did for the day was an activity, craft and snack all rolled into one! The kids were split up into four different groups and sat at a specific superhero table; we had a Spiderman, Superman, Batman and Captain America table. First off we decorated brown paper bags with markers, stickers, foam and glitter glue. Then we play a trivia game, I asked different trivia questions on superheroes and the table who got the answer right could come up and fill their treat back with different snacks! We had honey nut cheerios, chocolate chips, pretzels, goldfish crackers and marshmallows.
