Dinosaurs
Dinosaurs lived log 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)
I Like Dinosaurs [Tune: Twinkle, Twinkle]
I like dinosaurs so much, I wish they still lived with us.
Some were big and some were small, some were fierce, but not them all.
I like dinosaurs so much, I wish they still lived with us.
Dino Laid an Egg [Tune: This Old Man]
Di-no-saur, she laid one. She laid one egg, then was done.

She lays eggs until she's done.
Di-no-saur, she laid two. She laid two eggs, that were blue. Chorus
Di-no-saur, she laid three. She laid three eggs, by a tree.Chorus
Di-no-saur, she laid four She laid four eggs, not one more. Chorus
Di-no-saur, She laid five, She laid five that hatched ALIVE! Chorus

Put your feet in...stomp them all about. Put your tail in...wag it all about.
Dinosaur Hunt
Going on a dinosaur hunt. (slap thighs)
And I'm not afraid. (point to self)
There's a tall mountain (look with hand over eyes)
Can't go under it. (move hand down)
Can't go around it (move hand around)
Guess I'll go over it. (reach hands as if climbing)
There's a river. (hands over eyes)
Can't go over it. Can't go under it Guess I'll swim across it. (move arms as if swimming)
There's some tall grass. Can't go over it, can't go around it Guess I'll go through it (pretend to push grass to sides)
There's a cave! Can't go over it, Can't go under it. Guess I'll go in it. It's dark and spooky in here (shake)
It's cold in here! (wrap arms around self and shiver) I feel some scales (pretend to rub something)
I feel some big teeth! (pretend to touch something) OH! It's a Dinosaur! (scream)
Run out of the cave (slap thighs) Go through the grass, swim across the river Climb down the mountain, run home(slap thighs)
Open the door, lock the door jump into bed (cover head with arms as if hiding under a blanket)
I went on a dinsoaur hunt, and I wasn't afraid!
