Rhyme (fingerplay): Five Brave Superheroes
Five brave superheroes (hold up five fingers)
ready to save the day. (hands on hips in superhero stance)
One flies off to chase a villain. (fly one finger behind back)
Up, up and away! (arms up in flying stance)
Count down four, three, two
One brave superhero
ready to save the day.
She flies off to chase a villain.
Up, up and away!
Hooray for Superheroes!

Did you ever see a hero flying through the sky?
