Have children draw pictures on poster board or large cards of various dinosaurs, one dinosaur per card. Then have the children sing the traditional song "Farmer in the Dell" but replace the word farmer with the word Brontosaurus and use the names from your dinosaur cards in place of wife, child and farm animal names. Before each verse, hold up a new dinosaur card to indicate which dinosaur name should be sung next.
In this game each child is assigned a specific type of dinosaur to research. Children gather information from books and the Internet about their individual dinosaur, completing a fact sheet and a dinosaur drawing. Then the children play a quiz game together, testing each other's knowledge using the dinosaur facts they have each found. This learning game would be appropriate for elementary and middle school kids.
