BOUNCE RHYME (bounce along with child in lap)
Once There Was a Dinosaur
Once there was a dinosaur
All he did was roar and roar.
He roared FAST.
(bounce child fast)
And he roared SLO-O-OW.
(bounce child slow)
He roared HIGH.
(lift child up high)
He roared low.
(swing child low)
Once there was a dinosaur
And all he did was roar and roar.
(roar gently with child)
ACTION RHYMES
Dinosaur Bones
Let’s look for bones,
dig, dig, dig.
Dinosaur bones,
big, big, big.
Back to the lab,
zip, zip, zip.
Clean the bones,
chip, chip, chip.
Put them together,
So, so, so.
We’ve built a dinosaur,
oh, oh, HO!
Dinosaur Moves
Spread your arms way out wide;
Fly like a Pteranodon, soar and glide.
Bend to the floor, head down low;
Move like a Stegosaurus, long ago.
Reach up tall, try to be;
As tall as an Apatosaurus eating on a tree.
Using your claws, grumble and growl;
Just like Tyrannosaurus on the prowl.
Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs lived long ago.
Some walked (stomp in place)
Some swam (pretend to swim)
Some flew, you know! (flap arms at sides)
Some were big (hold hands high)
Some were small (hold hands low)
Some were gigantic! (stretch arms out wide)
V-e-r-y tall! (stretch arms up high)
The Dino Ditty
(Tune: “Do Wah Ditty”)
Here he comes just a stomping with his feet.
Singing dino ditty, ditty-dum, ditty-do
Searching all around for something to eat.
Singing dino ditty, ditty-dum, ditty-do
He’s huge (he's huge). He’s strong (he's strong)
He’s huge, he’s strong.
Won’t be hungry for very long!
Dino ditty, ditty-dum, ditty-do.
Yeah, dino ditty, ditty-dum, ditty-do!
I'm a Mean Old Dinosaur
(Tune: “I'm a Little Tea Pot”)
I'm a mean old dinosaur
(Make a mean face)
Big and tall
(Gesture hands big and tall )
Here is my tail, here is my claw.
(Gesture hands behind your back for tail and make claw hands)
When I get all hungry
(rub your tummy)
I just growl
(grrroooowwwlll)
Look out! I'm on the prowl.
(pretend to tickle with ‘claws’)
