9 Activities/Stations Dinosaur Concentration Game Find pictures of 6 different dinosaurs and make 2 copies of each, place on square cards and laminate. Shuffle the cards and place them face down on a small table. Have the child turn over two cards at a time. Encourage them to remember where cards are placed so they can turn over pairs. Once the pairs are turned over, leave them face up until all 6 pairs have been found. A print source for this game can be found in The Complete Resource Book: An Early Childhood Curriculum by Pam Schiller and Kay Hastings, on pages 185 & 413. Playdough Dinosaur Fossils Make a batch of fresh playdough and colour it grey by adding a small amount of powdered black tempera paint or black food colouring to your dough. Place the playdough on a small table along with a variety of small plastic dinosaurs. At this activity station, each dinosaur shape is pressed into the playdough and then pulled out to reveal a fossil. Decorate the station with photographs of real dinosaur fossils! A print source for this activity can be found in Theme-a-saurus: The great big book of mini teaching themes by Jean Warren, page 109. Tyrannosaurus Toss Draw a large picture of a tyrannosaurus head (facing forward) and stick it to a piece of thick cardboard. Use a box cutting blade to cut the dinosaur head out then cut a large hole for the mouth, including some sharp looking teeth. Affix the head to the legs of a chair or affix it to a doorway and place a basket of beanbags a few feet away. Then feed the dinosaur by tossing the beanbags into mouth. You can make this game more challenging by moving further and further back with each toss of the beanbag.
