Dinosaurs are cool!!!!

Dinosaurs are really cool to do as a storytime theme. You can set up your storytime area with dinosaurs as well as lots of books about dinosaurs. Here is what I am doing this afternoon:

Gathering activity:

Talk about the different dinosaurs. See what dinosaurs that the kids like.

Books:

1. The lost Dinosaur Bone by Mercer Mayer

2. Franklin’s Class Trip by Paulette Bourgeois

3. Tadpole Rex by: Kurt Cyrus

4. Dino-Hockey by: Lisa Wheeler

Activity:

Dinosaur Dinosaur

(Tune: “Teddy Bear, Teddy Bear”)

Dinosaur, dinosaur, turn around.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, touch the ground.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, shut the door.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, jump and roar.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, tie your shoe.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, stomp in goo.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, turn off the light.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, say “Good night.”



Dino-Pokey

(Tune: “The Hokey Pokey”)

You put your claws in,

You take your claws out,

You put your claws in,

And you scratch ‘em all about.

You do the dino pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about!



You put your feet in

You put your feet out

You put your feet in

And you stomp them all about.

You do the dino pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about!



You put your teeth in

You put your teeth out

You put your teeth in

And chomp them all about.

You do the dino pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about!



You put your tail in

You put your tail out

You put your tail in

And you wag it all about

You do the dino pokey,

And you turn yourself around.

That’s what it’s all about!
