Superheroes have always fired up children's imaginations. Whether it’s epic battles, secret powers or saving the world before teatime, these larger-than-life characters are brilliant for inspiring writing. But not all heroes wear capes. Some are quiet, everyday superheroes who show courage, face challenges or stand up for others. Through creative writing, students can explore what it means to be brave, kind or resilient. They can invent new characters, build exciting storylines and develop essential writing skills while having fun.
Here are six superhero-themed Pobble prompts to bring writing to life in your classroom:
