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.
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!
