Soaring Superheroes Storytime
Get ready for summer reading with these suggestions for this year’s Collaborative Summer Reading Program theme, “Every Hero Has a Story”:
Super Song
(to the tune of “Bingo”)
There was a kid who wore a cape,
she was a super hero.
S-U-P-E-R, S-U-P-E-R,S-U-P-E-R,
She was a super hero!
(Repeat, gradually replacing each letter with Superman-like arm movements or claps)
Superhero, It’s Just a Job (Action Rhyme)
I’m a damsel in distress and a dragon is chasing me,
his fire is very hot, as you can plainly see,
I call for help, “Someone save me!”
and a hero arrives in answer to my plea!
With a POW, WHAM, BOOM, he saves the day again!
A superhero’s job is to conquer the villain!
I’m a little boy who became too greedy,
I climbed the beanstalk, but now the giant’s chasing me,
I call for help, “Someone save me!”
and a hero arrives in answer to my plea!
With a POW, WHAM, BOOM, he saves the day again!
A superhero’s job is to conquer the villain!
I’m in the wrong place at the wrong time,
when the robber arrives in the bank, I’m collecting my dimes,
I call for help, “Someone save me!”
and a hero arrives in answer to my plea!
With a POW, WHAM, BOOM, he saves the day again!
A superhero’s job is to conquer the villain!
