I was really inspired by the 'fill-in-the-blank' script format that helped me create the script for this week's theme, Synergy Superheroes! I'll be giving the kids a questionnaire first to help create their superhero identity, followed by a few 'missions' that they'll have to use their superpowers for.
I figure since we only had a week, and kids' imaginations can really turn to the weird and ridiculous, I controlled the options while still making them weird and ridiculous. Have a look-see!
Welcome to Synergy Superheroes Week! Although we live our everyday lives in our ‘mild-mannered alter-egos’, there are ‘superhero’ potential and qualities inside each and every one of us – and we’ll be discovering them with each other this week! Here’s a character-building writing exercise to help discover your superhero name and powers, even your superhero costume!
Your superheroes will represent some of your actual personality traits, your talents and ‘superpowers’ you would love to have as a hero! The Camp Teacher will divide you into groups to create your very own Synergy Super Team, where you’ll share you superhero identities to each other. You’ll then be given a ‘world crisis’ by the Camp Teacher and an opportunity to use each of your teams’ powers to solve the crisis and save the day!
Remember, heroes – it’s all about teamwork, because no one could solve a crisis alone, big or small! Let’s get started in designing your superhero!

I included a blank page for any details they wanted to write down, such as what animal they would turn into or if there's a specific kind of sauce that was shot with the spaghetti (thank you, Dane Cook!) Also included was a section to help with their costume design. I snagged a few free colouring pages from the good folks at Crayola.com as a template design for the kids. Here they are!
Tomorrow we set on our missions!
