Wizard World Comic Con is coming to St. Louis this weekend, so in honor of that (and because this Storyteller is super excited) we are doing Superhero Storytime!!!
Opening
Song: If you’re Happy and You know it! (Clap, Stomp, Shout Hurray)
If you’re
Ready for a Story, Clap your hands!
If you’re
Ready for a Story, Clap your hands!
If you’re
Ready for a Story, If you’re Ready for a Story,
If you’re
Ready for a Story, Clap your hands!
Sit Down
Song:
The more
we read together, together, together
The More
we read together, the happier we’ll be,
‘Cause my
books are your books and your books are my books,
The More
we read together, the happier we’ll be.
Book One: Baron von Baddie and the Ice Ray Incident by George McClements
Fingerplay: Counting Superheroes
5 superheroes ready to fly
Here comes the villain, Stop that guy!
This superhero can save the day.
Off he flies – up, up, and away!
Count down from 4, 3, 2, 1, 0
Book Two: Princess Super Kitty by Antoinette Portis
I’m a Superhero Big and Strong
(Tune: I’m a Little Teapot)
I’m a Superhero Big and strong
My clothes are tight and my cape is long
When someone needs help they call my name
And I fly there faster than a jet airplane!
Song: Superhero, Superhero, Turn around
Superhero, superhero turn around
Superhero, superhero touch the ground
Superhero, superhero put on your suit
Superhero, Superhero put on your boots.
Superhero, Superhero, jump up high
Superhero, Superhero, fly, fly, fly
Superhero, Superhero, turn around.
Superhero, Superhero, please sit down.
Book Three: Kapow by George O'Connor
Song:Did you ever see a Superhero?
Did you ever see a hero, a hero, a hero,
Did you ever see a hero, flying through the sky?
Fly this way and that way, and that way and this way
Did you ever see a hero flying through the sky?
Verses: Putting on their cape, hopping on one foot, saving the day, twirling around
Superhero
(sung to: Wheels on the Bus)
The Superheroes arms flex and lift,
Flex and lift, flex and lift, the superheroes arms flex and
lift, all around the town.
Eyes go zap, zap, zap
Legs run very fast
Legs jump super high
Flies zoom zoom zoom
The person in trouble yells help help help!
The superhero goes to save the day
If you’re a
hero and you know it !
(Sung to: If you’re happy and you know it)
If you’re a hero and you know it, Flex your muscles
If you’re a hero and you know it, Flex your muscles
If you’re a hero and you know it than your post will surely show
it (heroic pose)
If you’re a hero and you know it flex your muscles.
Verses: Jump up high, Fly around, Run real fast
Super Pokey
We put our right glove in
We put our right glove out
We put our right glove in
And we shake it all about
You do the Super Pokey and you fly yourself around
That’s what it’s all about!
Today's craft is a combination from FirstPalette.com and Me!
First, we will make these Superhero masks (they can choose!)
Color, cut out, holepunch, add string, instant superhero mystique!
Then we will make our own logo!
Last time I did this, I made my own logo with an SL (SuperLibrarian!) and taped it to my chest and cape. It's also great because we can talk about the words "logo," "emblem," and "initials."
Other Recommended Reads:
I chose the books that I chose this week because one has a male superhero/villian, one has a female, and one has both! But here are some that almost made the cut because they were also adorable:
Hero Dad by Melinda Hardin; Illustrated by Bryan Langdo (A great story for a military family)
The Amazing Adventures of Bumblebee Boy or Ladybug Girl by David Soman and Jacky Davis (sibling rivalry story!)
Super Duck by Jez Alborough (cute)
Superhero by Marc Tauss (actual black and white photos of an African American boy playing superhero which is great because there isn't enough African-American representation in mainstream superheros)
The Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman Origin books from Ralph Cosentino (Superheroes have been going darker to capture adult audiences and alienate kids, who still love them. These are kid friendly introductions to the heroes they want to love but can't see in the theatre.)
Have a Super Week!
