Who Is A Super Hero?



This summer we will be learning about some Unitarian Universalist super heroes. We are calling them heroes because they tried to live their lives so that their abilities and talents became “super powers”, and they tried to use these powers to make the world a better place.




Are people heroes because they're strong? Or fast? Or famous? What heroes can you think of who have done something that helped others?


Children were asked to think of something heroic they have done or might like to do, or of something heroic they have seen someone else do in real life. Maybe someone has saved a bird’s nest from a cat, or helped get first aid for someone who fell off their bike, or cleaned up a spill so people wouldn’t slip and fall. Maybe someone ate lunch with a new child at school.   



















Children developed their own super hero costumes, and wrote and drew about their own super hero powers.  If they were a super hero, what powers would he or she have? What sort of costume would reflect these powers?  Look at the fantastic personas we developed!

Even our youngest children can be super heroes!



Super teachers!
