Super U! Challenge
Our most popular show for over 15 school years! Energizes students and encourages a respectful, safe and positive school environment.
NOW BOOKING DATES FOR 2023-24 SCHOOL YEAR!
The Super U! Challenge (super YOU!) is an action-packed school assembly that promotes a bully-free school environment by encouraging students to build positive character traits. It’s all about challenging students to become their own “personal superheroes” and let their best traits shine – at school and at home.
The Super U! Challenge is designed after classic Kid’s TV game shows such as “Double Dare” and the current Nickelodeon smash-hit “Brain Surge”. During the 45-minute show, contestants from the audience are invited to take part in imaginative, funny, and wacky interactive challenges that involve oversize props, creative costumes, and yes…even some slime!
Each exciting challenge is based on a specific message about bullying and positive character traits that reinforces what students hear in school. In fact, this program goes hand-in-hand with PBIS and other character and behavior programs.
Unlike a traditional “quiz show” assembly that requires students to answer questions about curriculum, The Super U! Challenge does not put students “on the spot” or require that they have memorized any facts. The only requirement of the hand-on challenges is that the volunteers (and the audience!) are ready to have fun. This means students from all grade levels can participate in the show - and as soon as they see the wild challenges, there is never any shortage of eager volunteers.
In addition to encouraging positive character traits, and positive school behavior, The Super U! Challenge also promotes teamwork and cooperation among students.
Topics highlighted in this program:
- Building friendships and trust
- Being a HERO for others
- Passing RESPECT around the school
- Taking RESPONSIBILITY for words and actions
- KINDNESS
- Being a part of a community
- Good Sportsmanship & Teamwork
Schools in Indiana and Illinois can use the Super U! Challenge to help meet requirements for bully prevention programs in their school. This program is also recommended to Ohio schools who promote the "Six Pillars of Character" or "Bucket Filling" concept in their school.

Click on a newspaper to read articles about how schools have used Super U! as part of their initiatives to prevent bullying:
________________________________________
"I had one student look at me during the assembly and state, 'I've been smiling so much my cheeks hurt!'. That translates to a definite 'thumbs up' for elementary students. The presenters were able to deliver a message to a group of nearly 600 students while capturing their attention the entire time. It was definitely money well spent. "

What type of challenges do the students do?
The specific challenges in each show vary based on the grade level of the audience, size of the performance space, etc. A typical performance includes about 5-6 main challenges.

Every challenge in this unique assembly performance is created to be entertaining and exciting for both the volunteers and the audience.
