How to Create a Super Hero Kid's Game
Many children love superheroes. The bright costumes and strong themes resonate well with children. While some children are content to run around with their arms out, some want to have a more meaningful type of game. As a parent, you can come up with superhero-themed activities to do with your child. These activities are fun for both parties and show children that you are taking an active part in their lives.

Tips & Warnings
Don't take the spotlight away from the child during these games. Allow them to be the hero while you remain the narrator or the sidekick.
Use these games to reinforce ideas like restraint and fair play with your child.
Avoid situations where combat is the only option, no need to reinforce bad behavior in a game.
