Songs and rhymes to share:

Dinosaurs                                                                                 No More Room

Dinosaurs lived long ago                                                           Ten huge dinosaurs                    (hold up 10 fingers)

Some walked                 (stomp feet)                                           Sleeping on the cave floor           (pretend to sleep)

Some swam                  (pretend to swim)                                   Woke up and started to roar        (stretch arms)

Some flew, you know     (flap arms)                                             “There’s no more room, there’s no more room

Some were big               (hold hand high)                                    there’s no more room on this floor!” (stomp feet)

Some were small           (hold hand low)                                      Well, they tossed and they turned

Some were gigantic        (stretch arms out wide)                        and they pushed galore    (pretend to push)

And VERY tall!              (stretch arms up high)                            Till one poor dinosaur was pushed out the door!

                                                                                                            -repeat with 9,8,7,…-

ZIG-ZAG                                                                                      (last verse)

I’m a Stegosaurus dinosaur                                                         One huge dinosaur                     (hold up 1 finger)

            (stand with legs & arms apart)                                         Sleeping on the cave floor           (pretend to sleep)

I eat so much my tummy sags                                                      Woke up and started to roar        (stretch arms)

            (hold tummy and bend over)                                             “I’m lonely, come back, it was better before”

My head flip-flops                                                                         “It’s more fun, crowded together, on the floor!”

            (bob head side to side)

And my tail wig-wags

            (swish tail)                                                                         Ten Big Dinosaurs  *sing to “10 Little Indians”

And when I walk I go zig-zag                                                       1 big, 2 big, 3 big dinosaurs

            (rock and step side to side)                                              4 big, 5 big, 6 big dinosaurs

Stegosaurus, flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag                                       7 big, 8 big, 9 big dinosaurs

            (bob head, swish tail, rock to sides)                                   10 big dinosaurs

Stegosaurus, flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag                                                    - sing back down from 10-

Stegosaurus, flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag                                       

Flip-flop, wig-wag, zig-zag!

 

Baby Dinosaur                                                                                           Dinosaur Dinosaur

* Sing to “I’m Bringing Home a Baby Bumblebee”           Dinosaur, dinosaur turn around

I’m bringing home a baby dinosaur                                                    Dinosaur, dinosaur touch the ground

Won’t my mommy fall right through the floor!                                     Dinosaur, dinosaur roar roar roar!

I’m bringing home a baby dinosaur                                                    Dinosaur, dinosaur shut the door

I hope he’ll be mine forever more!
