Description
Superheroes Assembly for Key Stage I (or class play) is in roughly two parts – the first deals with the qualities of a superhero and how a superhero would change the world; the second is a demonstration of ‘superpowers’ by different ‘superheroes’.
It is very much a ‘movable feast’ – the children can make their own choices re: how they’d change the world; and likewise choose which superheroes they’d like to portray – they can even make up their own. I have thus provided a ‘template’ which can be adapted according to class numbers and ‘members’.

Duration:
Around 10 – 15 minutes depending on how many ‘superhero demonstrations’ there are. The first ‘speaking’ part of the assembly is around 5 minutes reading time. The rest of the assembly is down to the teacher in charge (the Narrator).
Cast:
Written for cast of 30 but easily adaptable up or down. The cast comprises class teacher as narrator plus children 1 – 30.
