Slide Deck

Welcome to Superpower Discovery!

Welcome students and set the enthusiastic tone: “Today we’ll discover our inner superhero powers—our special strengths!” Point out that each slide shows a fun power and thinking prompt.

Super Listening Power

Explain that listening closely is like a superhero’s super hearing. Ask students to raise hands if they’ve ever helped a friend by really listening.

Kindness Shield

Introduce kindness as a protective shield. Invite a volunteer to share a time they showed kindness to someone who was sad or upset.

Teamwork Force

Talk about teamwork—no hero works alone. Encourage students to think of a recent group activity or project.

Bravery Beam

Discuss bravery by sharing a simple scenario (first day at school). Ask students to name small acts of courage they’ve done.

Creative Spark

Highlight creativity as a spark. Show a quick doodle or colorful idea. Invite one idea from students.

Transition to the Reflection & Charting activity. Remind students to choose their top 2–3 powers on their worksheet.
