You’re off on a new adventure! And you’re the hero of your own story. So sometimes you just need to strike a superhero pose!

Here’s how you do it: Stand straight and tall. Put your hands on your hips, keeping your arms wide.

Then call out loudly: I am strong! I am smart! I am reliable! I am brave! I am an adventurer!

Color in Super Grover. Then color in yourself.

Now complete your own superhero sentences here and shout them out loud as you do your superhero pose:

I am ____________________________________________!

I am ____________________________________________!

I am ____________________________________________!

Stand Like a Superhero

Good Morning, Superhero! Sometimes you have to work to fi nd strength from inside. Stand straight and tall in front of a mirror. Put your hands on your hips. Together with a grown-up, call out any or all of these sentences:

» “I am strong and brave!” » “I have a family who loves me no matter what!” » “I know that love wins!” » “I respect others!” » “I believe in myself!” » “I have hope for the future!” » “If I fall down, I’ll get back up!” » “My family will always help me!”

Now color in the shape next to Grover to look like you. Write down your own superhero sentences.

Our “I Love You” GardenTake turns saying things you love about each other, and write them on each sign.



Daddy Time!Before, during, or after coloring, try these ideas:

• Ask, “What is your favorite way to move your body?”

• Say, “Elmo is playing soccer with his Daddy. What is your favorite thing to do with your dad or another important grown-up?”

• Ask, “What new thing would you like to try with your dad or another important grown-up?”

• Display your work at home!



Our Family Rosita and her grandfather are talking about Mexico and their family’s history. Together, use crayons or markers to color the picture. Talk about your family’s culture and history: what traditions, music, holidays, and foods are special in your family?

Our Blended FamilyDraw your blended family on the “cover.” Work together to draw and write about each family member. How are they special? What do you like to do together? (Use more paper if needed.) Cut apart the pages and staple to make a book, and leave it in a place where everyone can read it.



What We Share Rudy is Abby’s new stepbrother, and they both love soccer. Color this page with children or have them color together. Talk about what people in your blended family have in common.



The _________________ Family likes to _____________________________ together!

What do you like to do as a family? Do you sing and dance, tell stories, go for walks, or play a favorite game? Draw a picture of your family spending time together.

Family Together Time

sesamestreetincommunities.org


Pretend you’re a reporter and gather news about your family’s day. Ask everyone in the family to remember something interesting they did or saw, and have them write it down or draw a picture of it (you can continue on the back of this page). At mealtime, talk about the news you’ve gathered!

Family Newsflash

Who? What did you do today?



Family members help each other in many ways each day. Let’s celebrate them! Maybe dad or mom helped you get dressed, your sister shared her favorite toy, or your brother read you a book. Decorate and cut out a thank you heart to share with a family member who helped you today. A grown-up can write down your words.
