Activity steps
- Invent a helpful hero,Mount the city skyline and flags beside the activity tables. Use the hand-held signs for portraits; leave the included masks aside for this handmade-accessory plan. Cover the table and give everyone two sheets of cardstock. Share pencils, rulers and markers. Choose a hero name and one helpful power, such as noticing who needs a turn or cheering up a teammate.
- Make two simple wrist cuffs,Draw two broad strips and a large matching emblem on the card. An adult helps cut with the shared scissors. Decorate with markers and glue large paper shapes onto the cuffs, leaving the ends clear for joining.
- Check the fit,An adult overlaps and tapes the paper ends, keeping tape off skin. Leave cuffs loose enough to slide off easily. Display them flat if the guest prefers; use no ties, capes, pins or masks.
- Introduce the new academy,Share a hero name and a kind action, or let a helper introduce it. Let glue hold, clear the craft table and remove any accessory that gets in the way before the team games.
Pre-cut broad strips for younger guests. Paper accessories should be easy to remove, and a guest can join without wearing one.
