Guest Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Hi everyone, Saturday morning and I'm planning (so that I can have a restful Mother's day!) we are having a superhero day next week (reception) the children will be coming in dressed as superheroes and I have in mind to have a rotation of challenges for the children in the morning. I will have 3 aduts including myself. I'm looking to have 4 activities to rotate around (1 independent) but I'm struggling to come up with inspiration and wondered if anyone has any ideas. One challenge will be to rescue teddy from the outside area avoiding the laser beams (red wool wrapped around outside area) any ideas welcome! deb
trasong Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Hi busybeedeb Ooh I like that idea i think I might steal that for future plans. How about attatching some bells so that they can hear when they have touched the beams. I'm not sure what phase your children will be working at in l&s but what about a blending activity where they have some clues to find around your class where there will be a letter and then blend the sounds to find out where the 'baddies' are holding one of teds friends. If your groups are ability based then you could differentiate accordingly with the length or use of diagraphs. Making superhero transport for ted in the creative area. A problem solving activity. Freeze a key to a padlock or lock in ice. How are we going to get it out? We need our sports candy (fruit) for an energy refill. It is locked in ? (choose somewhere) Maybe you could have a maths challenge with some help from the Number jacks there sort of number heros aren't they? I'll keep thinking something else may come to me later.
StrawberyTwirl Posted April 2, 2011 Posted April 2, 2011 Not quite a challenge, but when we did a super hero week, we did a super hero 'work out'. It was fab and the children loved it. We had 'superman' ( by Black Lace.. I know tragic!) and a particular favourite of the time, Indiana Jones music. Super sonic hearing.... environmental sounds game boat making.. out of a selection of junk, to rescue carry two lego people across the crocodile water tray and constructing a bridge across sheet of blue sugar paper that the children had drawn 'sharks' etc on don't know if you have any timer games like 'perfection'... have to fit in the shapes before the bomb goes off.... that could be easily adapted if you have a loud egg timer!
SueFinanceManager Posted April 4, 2011 Posted April 4, 2011 I did a quick forum search for superheroes and got this lot
Cait Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Sue I'm afraid that link doesn't seem to work any more - any idea where it took us to?
Panders Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Not sure if this is what you want Cait, but there is a whole new Superhero section in the resources with the other topic ideas
Cait Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 (edited) yes, it was possibly there, been there thanks Panders but couldn't find it Edited June 17, 2011 by Cait
mundia Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 What were you looking for Cait, maybe we can help you find it?
Cait Posted June 17, 2011 Posted June 17, 2011 Well I've found all the threads, so perhaps that's the sum of the information. Some of my Under 3's room children have been talking about superheroes today and the Room Leader asked if I could find anything on here as she''s unconnected at the moment. Being under 3's there's a limit of course, on what is understood or what they are capable of, but I think I might have sufficient for a couple of days or so, or until interest wanes at least! Unless anyone knows more that they've not already shared that is ................................
