When we hear the word “superhero” or “superpower” we often think of characters from comic books, movies and other worlds, with skills that are beyond our human reach. Yet, we are all superheroes, people who have superpowers like love, bravery and kindness - people that make a difference in our world. In this episode children are invited to identify many superpowers, and pick two favorite ones they have that, when “activated” will help people feel better about themselves, or help others know they are loved and special. Through a brief introduction to Mahatma Gandhi’s story, children learn that an ordinary person can become a superhero for a whole country, and even the world, by using two of his superpowers – love and justice.

Affirmation: I am _______ and _______ I make a difference in the world.
(Children will fill in those blanks with their own superpowers)

After learning about Gandhi, there is a role-playing activity to engage children in demonstrating their superpowers in different scenarios using “Gandhi’s Glasses” to help them see potentially stressful situations differently by sharing their superpowers. There is a handout of Gandhi’s story to expand what is offered in the video, as well as directions for “Gandhi’s Glasses.” attached. Also, there is a pen-pal activity, with links to two websites, inviting children to “fly around the world” as a superhero, by writing letters or drawing pictures and sending them to other children.
