What’s not to love about a Superhero? Kids love superheroes!
The ability to fly, scale buildings, and disappear in the blink of the eye?
I can see the draw.
With all of the super powers and super skills, it’s only natural that superhero activities are a must for any fine motor or gross motor activities.
Superhero Activities – Fine Motor and Gross Motor Planning Ideas
It’s superhero week and that means lots of superhero activities that incorporate gross motor skills and fine motor skills.

Superhero Hop
Superheroes need to work on their agility and listening skills. The superhero hop activity helps them to work on these skills. Played with music and superhero cards this game is a blast. The superhero hop is explained in full in this post. The game is part of the Superhero Movement Games Pack.
Superhero Pre-Writing Sklls
Superheroes need to be able to write. This superhero activity focuses on pre-writing strokes which need to be developed before kids actually start writing letters. I love pre-writing strips because they can be used over and over again and wiped off with a paper towel. The pre-writing strips can be found in the Superhero Fine Motor Pack.
Superhero Writing Stations
Superhero writing skills can be practiced in the superhero writing stations. This station is a simple salt tray using the Superhero letter formation cards. The letter practice can be done with a finger or a paint brush. The letter formation cards can be found in the Superhero Fine Motor Pack.
Superhero Yoga
Posing like all things superhero makes superhero yoga the perfect activity for superhero week. Explanations of the poses can be found in the superhero yoga poses blog post. Pick up a set of Superhero Yoga Cards and get started today.
Superhero Clip Cards
Superheroes need strong hand muscles! The superhero clip card activity focuses on letter knowledge while strengthening those hands and fingers. The clip cards can be found in the Superhero Fine Motor Pack.
Superhero Dice Games
My boys go crazy over the superhero dice games and superheroes in general. The dice games are probably their favorite of all of the superhero activities. They are competitive and they like to move so it makes sense. The dice games combine number practice with gross motor movements. The dice games are part of the Superhero Movement Games Pack.
Superhero Pencil Paths
Superhero pencil path activities is a fun way to work on pencil skills without actually writing letters. The superhero pencil paths can be laminated and used over and over again. Using a dry erase marker allows you to wipe them write off! The superhero pencil paths can be found in the Superhero Fine Motor Pack.
Superhero Stars
The super stars game works on eye hand coordination and large motor skills. Place the stars on the floor or on the wall. Toss a bean bag or small ball at the star. Perform the action on the star. Remove the star and continue to play. Play until all of the stars have been removed. A great gross motor activity for your superheroes! The super stars game is part of the Superhero Movement Games Pack.
Star Tracing
Make sure your superheroes have good tracing skills with super star tracing patterns. Laminate and use over and over again. The star tracing card and full sheets can be found in the Superhero Fine Motor Pack.
