Create your own Superhero This activity book is a step-by-step guide to creating a superhero character based on your own best qualities. It is an interactive process designed to foster out-of-the-box thinking and original ideas. Kids learn what makes a superhero super, then name three things they are good at, and place their talents into "The Exaggerator," a magic tool that turns their normal, positive qualities into Superpowers. Their Superpowers steer their name-creation process, the development of their origin story, their superspeedmobile, and the design of their unique symbol, calling card, costume, sidekick, and finally, amazing tale of how they saved the day. What's different about Superhero Academy is the fact that "Saving the Day" is grounded in the real world. Some heros may save the bengal tigers, while others save the beaches, or stop bullies dead in their tracks. Thinking through who and what your superhero will save sparks learning about connections in our world. For example, if you want to save the tigers, must you also protect the jungle they live in? Superhero Academy ignites the heroic imagination of children. Kids build a positive self image in a fun and playful way. Help a child harness their inherent creative genius and use their powers for the good of all
