I will be using a lot of pages from this other blogger 2 Teaching Mommies. She provides you with a pre-k pack that includes pattern cards, counting cards, letter matching, and much more. I will also use some from pages from Over the Big Moon. Both websites are very gracious to give you a lot of activities for free.
Crafts:
We will also be making a paper plate mask as seen here: styracosaurus mask.
We will also make this triceratops.
Books:
Bones, Bones, Dinosaur Bones
Dinosaur's Binkit
How Do Dinosaurs Say Goodnight
Memory Verse:
"God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds. And God saw that it was good."
Genesis 1:25
Songs:
(Note: I didn't come up with these songs...googled dinosaurs kid songs and picked the ones I liked)
All Around the Swamp
(to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus")
The Pteranodon's wings went flap, flap, flap,
Flap, flap, flap, flap, flap, flap,
The Pteranodon's wings went flap, flap, flap,
All around the swamp.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex went grr, grr, grr,
Grr, grr, grr, grr, grr, grr,
The Tyrannosaurus Rex went grr, grr, grr,
All around the swamp.
The Triceratops' horns went poke, poke, poke,
Poke, poke, poke, poke, poke, poke,
The Triceratops' horns went poke, poke, poke,
All around the swamp.
Additional Verses:
The brontosaurus went munch, munch, munch.
The stegosaurs' tail went spike, spike, spike.
The dinosurs went zzz, zzz, zzz,
Zzz, zzz, zzz, zzz, zzz, zzz,
The dinosurs went zzz, zzz, zzz,
All around the swamp.
Shhhhhhhh.
Dino-Pokey
(to the tune of "The Hokey Pokey")
You put your claws in,
You take your claws out,
You put your claws in,
And you scratch 'em all about.
You do the dino pokey,
And you turn yourself around.
That's what it's all about!
Additional Verses:
feet in
feet out
stomp them all about
teeth in
teeth out
chomp them all about
tail in
tail out
wag it all about
Going on a Dinosaur Hunt
(Like Going on a Bear Hunt)
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's a tall mountain.
Can't go under it.
Can't go around it.
Guess I'll go over it.
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's a river.
Can't go over it.
Can't go under it.
Guess I'll swim across it.
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's some tall grass.
Can't go over it.
Can't go around it.
Guess I'll go through it.
Going on a dinosaur hunt.
And I'm not afraid.
There's a cave!
Can't go over it.
Can't go under it.
Guess I'll go in it.
It's dark and spooky in here.
It's cold in here!
I feel some scales.
I feel some big teeth!
OHH! It's a Dinosaur!
(kids say the following with you)
Run out of the cave,
Go through the grass,
Swim across the river,
Climb the mountain,
Run, hope,
Open the door,
Jump into bed.
I went on a dinosaur hunt,
And I wasn't afraid!

Activities:
I'm going to the dollar store today to see if they have small plastic dinosaurs. If they do, I plan on burying some in the sand when we go to the park on Wednesday and having little man dig for dinos.
