Songs & Activities:Dinosaur StretchSpread your arms way out wide;Fly like a Pteranodon, soar and glide.Bend to the floor with your head down low;Walk like a Stegasaurus did long ago.Reach up high, as tall as can be;Like an Apatosaurus munching on a tree.Use your claws to grumble and growl;You're a hungry T-rex on the prowl.Credit:Storytime Katie
Dino ChantDino ditty ditty dum ditty doo;Singing dino ditty ditty dum ditty doo.A hungry T-rex was a-walking down the street,Singing dino ditty ditty dum ditty doo.Looking around for something good to eat,Singing dino ditty ditty dum ditty doo.[call and response]:He was HUGE! [arms out]He was STRONG! [show muscles]Won't be hungry very long. [wag finger]Singing dino ditty ditty dum ditty doo.

Dinosaurs in the Swamp[Sung to the tune of Wheels on the Bus]The Pteradactyl's wings go flap, flap, flap...all through the swamp.The Tyrannosaurus rex goes roar, roar, roar...all through the swamp.The Brachiosaurus goes munch, munch, munch...all through the swamp.The Stegosaurus' horns go poke, poke, poke...all through the swamp.
