What Makes A Hero Project

The Hercules ‘ What Makes A Hero Project’ invites pupils on a heroic quest to explore what it truly means to be a hero. Inspired by the legends of Ancient Greece and Disney’s Hercules, pupils discover the values behind heroism, from courage and kindness to teamwork and determination.

This engaging, curriculum-aligned one hour lesson introduces new vocabulary and sparks creativity through activities inspired by the theatre production. Pupils design a heroic poster for an exciting competition, complete a fun take-home challenge, and celebrate their learning and heroic deeds with the whole school using an included celebration guide.

A heroic day out - students step into the world of Hercules and share their favourite moments!
