The brakes went out, they all got wet.They thought this was their worst trip yet.
But things will never be the same,Once you play this dinogame!
Draw a train car on a large sheet of paper. You can color in scenery if you like, including hills and a lake. Cut out pictures of the dinocrew above. Attach tape to the backs of the pictures and give one to each player. During each player’s turn, blindfold them, turn them around two times, and then have them attach their dino to the train car. See where the dinos end up!

Make Your Own Dinoboat!
Place a rectangular piece of paper in front of you with one of the shorter sides at the top.Fold the top edge down to meet the bottom edge and crease the fold.Fold the two sides together to meet in the middle and crease, then unfold that crease.With the fold at the top, fold the top corners to meet in the middle and crease.Under the triangles you just made are two strips of paper. Fold the top one up and crease. (See diagram A)Turn the paper over and fold the other strip up and crease.Now it should look like a hat. Put your thumbs inside the hat-like opening.Open the “hat” all the way to make a diamond shape (B).Flatten it down, tucking in flaps, and crease. (C) Fold the first layer’s bottom point up to meet the diamond’s top point and crease. (D)Turn paper over and fold the other bottom point up to meet the diamond’s top point and crease.Open the new hat-like opening to make another diamond shape and flatten. (E)Gently peel back and pull out the two outside top points all the way and flatten. (F)Adjust your boat so it sits upright. (G)

Dinorhymes!Cut out the cards below, mix them up, and turn them upside down, six cards in each row. Player one turns over two cards. If the words rhyme, the player keeps the cards and takes another turn. If the words do not rhyme, the cards are turned back over in their original places, and it’s the next player’s turn. The winner is the person who has the most rhymes when the cards have all been taken.
You may also use these cards to create pairs of rhyming lines.

More Dinotunes!(to the tune of...)
Hadrosaurus, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, too,
Triceratops and T-Rex, Brachiosaurus, me, and you.
It doesn’t matter where they go, we’re glad to tag along
And sing this silly song!
Goody, goody dinosoaring
Goody, goody dinotraining
Goody, goody dinosailing
Oh where will we go next?
Trains and boats and planes are fun for kids and dinosaurs.
We love to jump aboard them and to hear the engines roar.
Adventure waits just down the track, the runway, and the sea
Just don’t leave without me!
Goody, goody dinosoaring
Goody, goody dinotraining
Goody, goody dinosailing
Oh where will we go next?

Dinodinner(Do Wah Diddy Diddy)
Here we come just a stomping down the street
Singing dino dinner, dinner dine, dinner do.
Looking all around for anything to eat
Singing dino dinner, dinner dine, dinner do.
We’re tough (we’re tough)! We’re strong (we’re strong)!
We’re tough, we’re strong. We’ll be full before too long
Singing dino dinner, dinner dine, dinner do.
Singing dino dinner, dinner dine, dinner do.
One Little Dinosaur(One Little Elephant)
One little dinosaur went out to playOut on a ship on the sea one day.He had such enormous fun,He called for another little dinosaur to come.
Two little dinosaurs went out to playOut on a train on the track one day.They had such enormous fun,They called for another little dinosaur to come.
Three little dinosaurs went out to playOut on a plane in the sky one day.They had such enormous fun,They called for another little dinosaur to come.
(Have kids make up more verses.)

Dinosaur Wish(Oscar Meyer)
Oh, I wish I were a daring dinosaur.
That is all I really want to be.
For if I were a daring dinosaur
Everyone would want to be like me!
Dino Pokey(Hokey Pokey)
You put your claws in,
You put your claws out,
You put your claws in,
And you slash them all about.
You do the Dino Pokey
And you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about.
…feet …stomp
…spikes …poke
…teeth …chomp
…tail …whip
Dino Chant(no tune)
