Super Heroes – the comic book figures who are off to rescue the world – enthrall my kids.   My boys love stories where in that location is a chase, some danger, a fight and good prevails.

Thank you to Large G Cereal Heroes {Kids Activities Blog sponsor}  for coming to our rescue and inspiring my kids to imagine, create and get SuperHeroes.

It's a race to see who can open the new boxes of cereal and grab the comics inside.

They put on their super hero masks from the back of the box and read their comics aloud to each other as they snack on the cereal.

Cereal Heroes

The boys are developing their writing skills.     We got duplicate books in our boxes of cereal.   What a adventure for the kids to put themselves "into" the story!

After they read the first half of the comic, nosotros decided to create our own ending.   I grabbed some stickers and covered the "give-and-take bubbles" so that the boys couldn't see what was written in the last couple pages.   We grabbed markers and the boys began debating the various responses that the heroes would have if they were the ones doing the fighting.

When they had finished writing their catastrophe, they compared their scenes to the ones in the book.

I think that blocking out the words and having the boys create their own part of the story is helping them understand concepts of sequencing.   They know what happened before and can get an idea of what is happening in the pictures.   They demand to call up almost the timing of the story and match the words that the grapheme is maxim to the "identify" in the story.

I know my kids loved imagining for a morning what it would be like if they were being chased across Gotham city – thanks Big One thousand Cereal Heroes and DC Comics for helping ignite my kids creativity!

Did y'all know that by hitting a super hero pose, or imagining yourself equally a victorious hero, helps you lot or your child actually gain confidence? Inspired by Super Heroes, we are thrilled to be part of a movement called #SuperHeroing, encouraging kids (and adults!) to put on their cut-out costume pieces from the back of the box and strike a Super Hero pose at breakfast time to gain the confidence they demand to tackle the twenty-four hours.
