Song: If you’re a hero and you know it…
If you’re a hero and you know it, flex your muscles
If you’re a hero and you know it, flex your muscles
If you’re a hero and you know it then your pose will surely show it
If you’re a hero and you know it, flex your muscles
(Verses: Jump up high, fly around, run really fast)

Book: Super Sam! by Lori Ries; illustrated by Sue Rama
Rhyme: Superman
Put your hands way up high (Raise arms up in air)
Like Superman flying across the sky (Assume flying position)
Fly to the left / Now fly to the right (Lean to YOUR right then left)
Now show me your muscles with all your might, (Make arm muscles)
Now Superman’s putting his suit away (Bring arms down slowly)
So he can go flying another day (Rest hands in lap)
