To extend on the children’s growing interest in superheroes and special powers, we explored the idea of being a “super sharer” and how our actions can help others. Through discussions and play, the children shared their ideas about different superheroes and what powers they might have. Together, we talked about how sharing, kindness and helping friends can be powerful superhero skills we can all use every day. The children created their own Superman masks, carefully cutting, decorating and designing them to represent their superhero identities. This creative experience supported fine motor development as children practised scissor skills, grip strength and hand–eye coordination. Many children showed focus and persistence as they worked on their masks, proudly sharing their creations with peers and educators.
We also read a story about sharing, which encouraged group discussion and reflection. Children eagerly contributed ideas about times they have shared with friends and how it makes others feel. Wearing their superhero masks, children engaged in imaginative play, acting out scenarios where they used their “super sharing powers” to help others, take turns and work together.
This experience supported children’s social and emotional development by strengthening friendships, promoting empathy and building confidence. It was wonderful to see the children embrace the idea that everyone can be a superhero when they choose to share 🦸♀️✨
We loved seeing our kind, confident superheroes use their powers to make our kindy a happy and caring place.
