What’s Your Superpower Career?

Welcome students! Introduce the session: “Today we’ll discover our personal superpowers—our unique strengths—and see how they connect to real careers.”

What is a Superpower?

Ask: “What comes to mind when you hear ‘superpower’?” Note student responses. Then define how a superpower is really a personal strength or skill you excel at.

Examples of Superpowers

Share these examples, then invite students to shout out other strengths they have or admire in peers.

Why Superpowers Matter

Explain how knowing your strengths can guide career and life choices. Ask: “Can anyone think of a job where empathy or creativity is key?”

Linking Superpowers to Careers

Walk through each pairing. Ask students to think of other careers that match their own strengths.

Strengths Treasure Hunt Activity

Explain the Strengths Treasure Hunt: students will circulate, find classmates with each strength, and collect signatures. 15 minutes total, then share discoveries.

Career Strengths Snapshot Quiz

Hand out the Career Strengths Snapshot Quiz. Instruct students to answer honestly to identify their top three strengths. Allow 10 minutes.

One-Word Reflection

Distribute sticky notes. Ask each student to write one word that captures their top superpower and post it on the board/chart.

Next Steps

Summarize the lesson: understanding superpowers helps you choose fulfilling careers. Assign homework: research a career that fits your strength.
