1. Join the Group! Invent a Demon Hunter or Saja Boy
Children love imagining themselves inside this Demon Hunter world so let them join the HUNTRx crew or the Saja Boys and get them to design a brand-new hero or villain to join the action!
Keep it light and conversational, rather than feeling like homework; as their ideas start flowing, they’ll probably start sketching before you even ask.
Some prompts to spark it off your K-Pop Demon Hunters activities:
- Character name and group role: Are they the leader, the quiet genius, the “mummy” of the group or the one who always cracks a joke mid-battle?
- Side or team: Are they joining HUNTRx, teaming up with the Saja Boys or starting their own band of hunters?
- Hero superpower: Do they control shadows, soundwaves or dance energy?
- Demon power: What makes them different? Do they shapeshift, breathe fire or charm their enemies with song?
- Personality: Are they calm and wise or mischievous and unpredictable?
- Style and vibe: Choose a signature colour, weapon or symbol. What’s their look? Streetwear, neon armour or futuristic glam?
- Backstory: How did they become a hunter or a demon? Are they misunderstood, brave or both?
- Once their character’s ready, they could create a Top Trumps-style card with their stats… power, courage, creativity and signature move!

2. Write a Demon-Hunting Anthem or Battle Track
The K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack is seriously catchy! Anyone else had “Golden”, “What It Sounds Like” or “My Little Soda Pop” stuck in your head all week?
Music is at the heart of the story and it’s powerful – the HUNTRx girls’ songs literally keep the Honmoon barrier strong. So why not channel that energy into some creative writing? A perfect K-Pop Demon Hunters inspired activity!
Here’s how to get started on your K-Pop song-writing activity:
- Chat about what the film’s songs are really about; courage, friendship, teamwork and self-belief (like Rumi’s journey).
- Read the lyrics online (or get children to write them down from memory, they probably know them by heart!). Can they spot any patterns? Rhyming words? Repeating choruses?… Why might songwriters do that?
- Ask them to write a few lines of their own song around a theme they love.
- Clap, tap or use toy instruments to test out rhythms and beats of their own.
- Write out the lyrics neatly, then imagine how it would look on stage – who sings which part, what kind of choreography could go with it?
- Make sure to record it on your phone… this could be the start of their song-writing career!
Practise rhyming words to help with writing lyrics with our phonics game Robert Robot.
Children can use Monster Grid to compose a backing beat or simple tune for their K-Pop track.
3. K-Pop Group Goals: Teamwork Challenges
The K-Pop Demon Hunters crew are all about teamwork! They’re strongest when they work together on and off stage. Bring that spirit home with some quick teamwork games that get everyone thinking, planning, supporting each other and cooperating (yes, siblings – that means you!).
Try these K-Pop Demon Hunters inspired teamwork activities at home:
- Puzzle Power: Split one big challenge into parts e.g. everyone colouring one section of a picture, each person building a corner of a jigsaw or completing one step of a Lego design before passing it on.
- Rescue Mission: Hide a favourite soft toy somewhere and give each person a small job to help “save” it… taking turns to be the clue reader, solver and runner. You can make simple clues like “It’s near something blue” or “It’s hiding where you keep your shoes.”
- Code Breakers: Write a silly message like “Snack time! Look in the fridge for a surprise!” and hide parts of the sentence around the room. Each person finds one clue, and they can only read the message once everyone’s back together to piece it all in order.
- Balance Challenge: Give everyone a task that can’t be done solo, like walking across the room balancing a cushion between two heads or carrying a ball with spoons together. It’s teamwork or bust!
- Reflect and celebrate: After the fun, chat about what worked best… who kept calm, who had great ideas and how they helped each other.
Practise turn-taking in multiplayer games like our NEW Skylarks spelling games.

4. Where does K-Pop come from? Time to find out…
The K-Pop Demon Hunters world might be full of fantasy battles, but it’s also bursting with real Korean influences… from the music and fashion to the food, language and mythology woven through the story.
This is a lovely chance to help children learn a little about where K-Pop comes from and what makes Korean culture so unique.
Some ideas to explore for this K-Pop Demon Hunters activity:
- Language: Learn a few Korean words together!
– Annyeong (안녕, pronounced ahn-nyong) = hello and goodbye
– Gamsahamnida (감사합니다, pronounced kam-sa-ham-nee-da) = thank you
– Saranghae (사랑해, pronounced sa-rang-hey) = I love you
You could research other words and label a few items around the house or see if you can spot these words in K-Pop videos!
- Food: Koreans often eat with chopsticks and share food from the centre of the table. Try making a simple Korean-inspired meal together; like bibimbap (colourful rice bowls), tteokbokki (spicy rice cakes) or kimbap (Korean-style sushi rolls). If that sounds like too much effort, just serve noodles with chopsticks for an easy Korean-themed meal!
- Mythology: The film’s mix of spirits, demons and magic comes from traditional Korean legends. Look up creatures like the Kumiho (a nine-tailed fox spirit) or the Dokkaebi (a mischievous goblin). Can your child think of any similar myths from your own culture? (Perhaps the Loch Ness Monster, Cornish piskies or the Mersey mermaid?)
- Spot the Symbols: Look out for Hangul, the Korean alphabet, on posters or packaging. Children can try writing their name using a simple Hangul chart, it’s easier than it looks once you know the shapes and sounds!
- K-Fashion: Korean street style is bright, bold and creative, just like HUNTRx! Look up a few pictures online and recreate the look using what you already have at home: layered colours, shiny fabrics and statement accessories all help channel the K-Pop vibe.
- Music: K-Pop comes from South Korea, and its influence has spread all over the world. Watch a few real K-Pop performances (try BTS, NewJeans or Stray Kids) and compare the choreography, lighting and energy with the concert scenes from the film.
Use the Map of World Flags activity, can you find South Korea on the map?
Try out some other languages with our French or Spanish interactive worksheets. Can you spot any similarities or differences with Korean words?
5. Choreograph a K-Pop Dance Routine
No K-Pop Demon Hunters song is complete without a slick dance routine! Children will love creating their own moves inspired by the film’s high-energy performances.
This is one of the simplest K-Pop Demon Hunters activities to try at home:
• Play their favourite song from the soundtrack (on repeat, obviously).
• Encourage them to show the story or emotion of the song through movement.
• Break it into sections: intro, chorus, bridge, and finale. Do the dance moves repeat?
• Add facial expressions, gestures and even props to match the lyrics.
• When it’s ready, perform it for the family or record a “music video” to watch back later!
Get ready to dance with a warm up from Dog and Cat.
Children can combine their choreography and coding skills with Code Disco! Can they make Beardman shake his stuff?
6. Strengthening Your Honmoon
In the film, the Honmoon is a magical barrier that protects the world from demons and it only stays strong through teamwork, music and self-belief.
This could be a brilliant metaphor for children’s own inner strength. You can use it to talk about how we all have our own “Honmoon” to protect… things that help us feel safe, confident and positive, even when we’re having a tricky day.
Try these ideas for helping your child keep their Honmoon strong:
- Honmoon jar: Keep a jar and write down things that make them feel brave, calm or proud. Pull one out when they need a boost.
- Power playlist: Create a mini playlist of “Honmoon songs”, ones that make them feel happy or confident.
- Beat breathing: Breathe in for four counts and out for four, keeping time with a gentle beat. It’s a great way to reset a busy brain.
- Mirror mantra: Stand tall and repeat a simple phrase: “I’m brave,” “I can do this,” or a line they invent to boost their confidence.
- Kindness mission: Little acts of kindness make your Honmoon stronger; share a snack, help tidy up or say something kind.
- Create a Honmoon symbol: Draw a small badge or logo that represents their strength; a soundwave, a star or a moon and sword.
- Calm corner: A cosy spot with a cushion, a soft toy and a short breathing exercise makes a great recharging zone.

7. Suit Up! Design Your Demon-Hunter Look!
Fashion is a big part of K-Pop Demon Hunters – every hero needs a signature style! In this world, that means bold colours, futuristic fabrics and serious sparkle.
Designing outfits is a fun, creative way for children to explore character design while sneaking in some learning around colour, texture and patterns.
Try this K-Pop Demon Hunters activity:
- Watch and discuss: Watch a few film scenes together. What’s common in their costumes? What differences do you spot between Rumi, Mira, Zoey or the Saja Boys? Which outfits do they like (or not like)?
- Pick a character: Either one of their film heroes or a character of their own creation. What’s their personality like? An outfit should match their powers and character traits.
- Sketch it out: Use pen and paper or Busy Things tools below to draw the full look, adding labels for materials, colours or any magical gadgets.
- Bring it to life: Use what’s at home – sunglasses, scarves, shiny fabrics, jackets, face paint or make cardboard accessories. They can dress up dolls, teddies or themselves! Then hold a mini fashion show.
- Group style: Design a matching team theme… maybe everyone wears the same colour accent or symbol to show they’re united.
- Explain the choices: Ask why they think certain designs fit each character – “Because Rumi is half-demon so I gave her silver streaks.” It’s a brilliant way to build vocabulary around texture, colour and pattern.
Play Fashion Fun to prototype designs digitally, test patterns, colours and symmetry before crafting real versions.

8. Sound Science: The Power Behind the K-Pop Demon Hunters Music
Behind every K-Pop hit lies a little bit of science! In K-Pop Demon Hunters, the girls’ songs – like “Golden” and “What It Sounds Like” – don’t just sound amazing; they have real power. Pitch, volume and rhythm all change how music makes us feel.
The film’s K-Pop soundtrack is a great way to get children curious about how sound really works. Try these fun musical experiments as fun K-Pop Demon Hunters activities and see what they discover:
- Feel the Beat: Stretch cling film tightly over a bowl and sprinkle rice or lentils on top. Tap the bowl to the rhythm a K-Pop song, can they see the grains move? That’s sound vibrations in action! (Sound is made by vibrations, energy moving through the air until it reaches our ears.)
- Speaker Shake: Play part of the film soundtrack or another upbeat K-Pop song, then rest a hand gently on a speaker (carefully!). Can they feel the vibrations? That’s energy they can actually feel!
- Homemade Instruments: Create a mini band! Stretch rubber bands over boxes to make guitars, fill glass bottles with different amounts of water for a xylophone or shake rice in sealed tubs for percussion. Which sounds are high, low, loud or soft? Combine them to make a rhythm and play along their favourite song.
- Echo Explorer: Try clapping or shouting “Golden” in different places – the hallway, garden or even a cupboard. Where does the sound bounce back most clearly?
- Light and Sound Show: Add glow sticks or torches to music time. Move the lights in time with the beat, it’s a fun way to see rhythm patterns and tempo.
- Emotion in Sound: Play a few clips from the soundtrack and ask: which songs feel calm, happy or powerful? Why do they think that? It’s a brilliant way to connect sound with emotion and self-expression.

9. Train Like a Demon Hunter
Every K-Pop Demon Hunter needs serious stamina to keep up with all that battling and dancing! Luckily, you don’t need magic powers to train like Rumi and the crew; just imagination, energy and a bit of living-room space (that will henceforth be known as your “training dojo”)!
Turn physical fun into a full-on K-Pop Demon Hunters activity…
- Group Warm-Up: Create a short “hunter training circuit” – think jumping jacks (dodging demons!), high knees (charging up energy!) and spin jumps (attack move!). To be done in time to the K-Pop Demon Hunters soundtrack, of course!
- Balance Challenge: Can they move across the room balancing a cushion on their head or hopping from “safe zones” made from paper? Demon Hunters must stay steady under pressure!
- Agility Test: Place soft toys as “demon obstacles” and crawl, leap, or sidestep around them.
- Power Moves: Encourage them to invent special attack or defence moves! Maybe a “light burst jump” or “shadow dodge.”
- Reflex challenge: try catching falling socks before they hit the floor!
- Focus Practice: End with a few seconds of stillness or deep breathing, every HUNTRx hero needs a calm mind to recharge their powers.
Young children can play Number Gym to add a little maths into movement!
Make a Graph – record training times or scores to track progress like a true K-Pop hero!
10. Put on a K-Pop Demon Hunters Concert!
It’s showtime! Time to let your child show off everything they’ve created – lyrics, costumes, dance moves and all. Get their imagination, planning and problem-solving skills in gear as they bring their K-Pop Demon Hunters concert to life…
- Set the Scene: How will they stage their K-Pop concert? Perhaps a blanket for a curtain, fairy lights, a desk lamp spotlight and add instant K-Pop sparkle with glittered cardboard microphones!
- Plan the Line-Up: What’s on the set list? They could mix up songs from the film with their own creations. Will there be a dramatic demon showdown? Do they need an MC or host to introduce each act (“And next up… Rumi’s rival!”)?
- Rehearse Like HUNTRx: Remind them that even pop stars need practice! Encourage them to run through their routines a few times.
- Gather the Audience: Whether it’s family, friends or a row of teddies, every performer needs fans! A great excuse for some more creativity here too… create posters, invitations or tickets with all the key info – what, where, when and any special details.
- Film the Finale: Record the big performance so they can watch it back (and probably insist on a re-run). After the final bow, talk about what they enjoyed most – performing, planning, dancing or dressing up – and celebrate how much effort they put into it all!
