Welcome to Superhero Academy! You have a series of missions to complete to become a real life superhero. Good luck!

Mission One

First things first, you’ll need to create a superhero identity. Come up with a superhero name of your own or use the Superhero Alphabet below to work yours out.

Now that you have your superhero name you’ll need a costume. You can use this Superhero Costume sheet to design your own superhero costume. If your grown-ups say it’s ok you could find bits and pieces around the house to make a real life version of your creation. There are links below if you would like to create your own superhero mask or shield.

Create a skyline picture on the ground using chalk and then lie above it. Have a grown-up stand somewhere high and take a picture. It will look like you’re flying through the air 🙂

Super Strength

Can you show off your super strength by breaking through a ‘brick’ wall made from cardboard boxes or shoe boxes.

Laser Vision

The bad guys have trapped one of your favourite toys in ice. Can you figure out a way to melt the ice and free your toy?

Kindness

Kindness is the best superpower! Here are some acts of kindness you could do.

Superpower Science

Older children might enjoy finding out the science of superpowers. TED Ed have a series of videos on YouTube explaining the science behind superpowers and how scientifically realistic they are. It’s aimed at older children so grown-ups might want to check out the videos beforehand.

Mission Four

All superheroes have their own comics. You can choose whether you would like to create yours online or create a paper version.

Mission Five

No superhero would be complete without a sidekick to look out for them. I’m sure there are lots of everyday heroes in your life that have made you the brilliant wee superhero you are! What better way to say thank you than to use your coding skills to turn them into a superhero too.

Create Your Own Everyday Hero

Mission Six

Now that you’re a real life superhero, I wouldn’t be surprised if you’re asked to be in a Lego movie. You can make you’re own Lego Superhero here so that you’re prepared for any offers.

Mission Seven

Superheroes have to be good at helping others and being kind. Your final superhero mission is to be a ‘Hero Helper’.

You’ll need three Hero Helper Tokens, you can print and cut these out or make your own.
Give the tokens to people in your family.
When someone in your family needs a little help they give you the token back and you help them in return. This could be something as simple as setting the table or helping tidy up.
When you have all three tokens back you have completed this mission.
