Long, long ago
When the earth was new
Dinosaurs walked
and swam and flew.
Allosaurus
Triceratops
Apatosaurus, too.
Iguanodon
Tyrannosaurus
To name a few.
Long, long ago
When the earth was new
Huge dinosaurs lived
and small ones too.
~Jo Ellen Moore~

The Five E-Nor-Mous Dinosaurs (a fingerplay)
Five E-Nor-Mous dinosaurs (arms extend to sides)
Shouting out a roar. (cup hands over mouth like megaphone)
Along came an alligator, (move hand in wavy motion)
Then there were four. (hold up four fingers)
Four E-Nor-Mous dinosaurs (extend arms to sides)
Sitting in a tree.
'Til the wind blew by. (sweep hands across body)
Then there were three. (hold up three fingers)
Three E-Nor-Mous dinosaurs (extend arms to sides)
Were taken to the zoo. 'Til one got away,
Then there were two. (hold up two fingers)
Two E-Nor-Mous dinosaurs
Were having such fun.
'Til a volcano blew up (push both arms above head)
Then there was one. (hold up one finger)
One E-Nor-Mous dinosaur (extend arms to sides)
He must have weighed a ton.
'Til the lakes dried up. Then there were none!

Dinosaur Song
(sung to tune of Mary Had a Little Lamb)
Dorothy was a dinosaur, dinosaur, dinosaur.
Dorothy was a dinosaur with skin as green as grass.
Everywhere that Dorothy went, Dorothy went, Dorothy went,
Everywhere that Dorothy went the boys would surely pass.
Followed her to the cave one day, cave one day, cave one day,
Followed her to the cave one day so they could run and play.
The dinosaurs all laughed and played, laughed and played, laughed and played,
The dinosaurs all laughed and played with Dorothy the live long day.

Dinosaur Song
Tune: "Are You Sleeping"
Apat-o-sau-rus, Apat-o-sau-rus
In the tarpit, in the tarpit
He was very tall
But his brain was small
Apat-o-sau-rus, Apat-o-sau-rus.
Five crazy dinosaurs
Cleaning up the floor.
One got swept away
And then there were four.
Four crazy dinosaurs
Chased by a bee.
One got stung
And then there were three.
Three crazy dinosaurs
Playing with some glue.
One got stuck
And then there were two.
Two crazy dinosaurs
Out for a run.
One fell down
And then there was one.
One crazy dinosaur
Acting like a hero,
Went to save the others
And then there were zero.

Did You Ever See a Dinosaur?
(tune of "Did You Ever See a Lassie?"
Did you ever see a dinosaur, a dinosaur, a dinosaur?
Did you ever see a dinosaur go this way and that?
Go this way and that way
Go this way and that way
Did you ever see a dinosaur, go this way and that?
