Here are a few Superhero ideas to use in your Sensory Room with your sensory learners & explorers.
GOTHAM CITY AMBIENCE – YouTube Video
This video makes a fabulous backdrop projected onto the wall of a Sensory Room—an hour-long video with amazing lights, city sounds and smoking rooftops. Watch out for the Bat-Signal shining into the starry city sky.
SWITCH ACTIVATED BAT SIGNAL
Create a switch adapted Bat-Signal for your Sensory Room.
Cut out a large Bat made from a black card and stick it on the wall.
Plug a bright lamp into your switch box so that it shines over the Bat.
Pug a switch into your switch box
Turn out the lights
And off you go!
SHADOW BOARD SUPERHERO SYMBOLS
Search for pictures of Superhero symbols on the internet. Once you have found the ones you want, print them off, cut them out and stick them onto card.
Cut out the pieces that need to be exposed to light in order to show the features of the symbol (here, I have cut out the eyes). Then laminate.
You will need a Photoluminescent Board. You can buy large sheets of Photoluminescent Board on the Internet or you can buy smaller ones from Amazon.
You will also need a UV/blacklight torch which you can buy from Amazon.
Place the symbol on the board and shine the UV torch over the top then pull the symbol away to see the shadow it has made. Then make the shadow disappear by shining the torch over the shadow.
(Use your Photoluminescent Board in low lighting)
