Dinosaur, dinosaur, stomp on the ground.
Dinosaur, dinosaur, give a roar.
Dinosaur, dinosaur, jump off the floor.

Dinosaur, dinosaur, “Whew, you smell!”. (Plug nose with fingers)
2. Vestibular
Set up an obstacle course using a tunnel, balance beam and paper dinosaur footprints. Have
the children move through the obstacle course pretending to be dinosaurs. Have the
children crawl through the tunnel (cave), walk across the balance beam (fallen tree trunk),
and stomp jump on the dinosaur footprints. Repeat several times.
3. Proprioception
Divide the children into 2 groups. Put blocks inside a small box (pretend dinosaur bones), and
have the children carry them across the room and back again, being careful not to drop the
bones! Have one child from each group go at the same time. It is helpful to place a turn
around marker at the other end of the room.

You put your claws out
You put your claws in
scratch 'em all about
You do the Dino-Pokey and you turn yourself about.
That's what it's all about.
