superpowered creature creator!

Step #1

Think of your favourite animals. Now think of their amazing parts and abilities. Lions have huge teeth. Eagles have super eyesight. Octopuses and pythons have excellent camouflage. Moles have unstoppable digging paws. Spiders make amazing webs for capturing dinner.

Look at pictures of animals if you need some inspiration! Brainstorm with your friends! Make a great big list of amazing animal parts. Write them on your classroom blackboard!

Step #2

Pick your favourite four parts from four different animals. These parts DO NOT need to belong to the same animal—in fact, it’s better if they don’t. Your superpowered parts could be leopard spots, shark jaws, bird beak, and a snake’s forked tongue. No combination is too weird. No combination is weird enough!

Step #3

For each of your animal parts, think up a really cool superpowered title. A lion’s teeth could be FEROCIOUS FANGS. An eagle’s eyesight could be LAZER EYEBALLS. Here are some ideas: SUPERSONIC SPEED, FANTASTIC FEATHERS, SUPER SLITHER, SUPER STINK, CLAWS OF DEATH, THE NOSE OF WONDER, BIONIC BARKING!

Step #4

Take four square sticky notes. Write one of your superpowered parts on each sticky note. Then doodle a little drawing.

Step #5

Here’s the fun part. Get a big piece of paper, stick your four sticky notes down one side, and draw your new superpowered creature using a combination of each of those parts! How will they all fit together? Maybe you’ll add a few extra parts. Get as wild as you like. Don’t forget to give your new creature a name!
