Lesson plan

1. Recap and recall

Ask the children to recall their superhero name and one of their superpowers from Lesson 4: My superpowers.

Ask the children to walk around the classroom, introducing themselves to each other as superheroes, standing in a superhero stance and using a special voice. Encourage the children to describe what their superpower is when they introduce themselves. (Note that the children should be using 'real' superpowers such as 'I am kind' or 'I am brilliant at swimming', rather than 'I can fly' or 'I can turn invisible'.)
