In this lesson, children learn about various dinosaurs, including the brachiosaurus, triceratops, and tyrannosaurus rex, through engaging descriptions that highlight their unique features and diets. The lesson also includes a fun story about a red rooster searching for the source of a “moo,” which ultimately leads him to a cow and her calf. Additionally, kids are encouraged to be active by wiggling like an octopus, promoting movement and creativity.
  1. What do you think makes a brachiosaurus special?
  2. Can you name some animals that say “moo”? Who are they?
  3. How do you think an octopus moves in the water?

Animals and Dinosaurs for Kids!

Meet the Dinosaurs

Who am I?

I have back legs that are shorter than my front legs. I have a long tail and a long neck. I love to eat leaves from tall trees. I am one of the tallest dinosaurs. I’m a brachiosaurus!

Who am I?

I have short legs and a thick tail. I have three horns: two big ones and one small one. I use them to protect myself. My head is very big. I’m a triceratops!

Who am I?

I have a long pointy beak and long pointy wings. I can fly high in the sky and catch fish. I’m a bird!

Who am I?

My back is covered with armor and bony plates to keep me safe. I have a bony club at the end of my tail to fight my enemies. I eat plants. I’m an ankylosaurus!

Who am I?

I have a spiky tail that helps me stay safe. There are pointy plates on my back, lots of them, to protect me. I have a small head and eat mostly plants. I’m a stegosaurus!

Who am I?

I have a short tail, long back legs, short arms, and big teeth. My teeth help me eat meat. I am the fiercest of dinosaurs. I’m a tyrannosaurus rex!

Who Said Moo?

Early every morning, a red rooster went to the top of the barn and crowed loudly. Usually, no one answered, but on this sunny morning, someone said “moo.”

The red rooster asked a plump pig, “Was it you?”

“I don’t moo,” answered the pig.

The red rooster met a spotted dog. “Was it you?”

“I don’t moo,” answered the dog.

The red rooster met a grey donkey. “Was it you?”

“I don’t moo,” answered the donkey.

The red rooster followed a tabby cat. “Was it you?”

“I don’t moo,” answered the cat.

The red rooster ran after a black sheep. “Was it you?”

“I don’t moo,” said the sheep.

Finally, the red rooster saw a spotted cow. “Was it you?”

“Yes,” said the cow. “I said moo.”

“And I mooed too,” said her baby calf.

Wiggle Like an Octopus

Let’s have some fun! Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like an octopus. Move your arms and legs and pretend you’re swimming in the ocean!

  • Imagine you are a dinosaur for a day. Which dinosaur would you like to be and why? What would you do as that dinosaur?
  • Think about the animals you see around you, like dogs, cats, or birds. How are they different from the dinosaurs we learned about? How are they the same?
  • If you could ask any animal or dinosaur a question, what would you ask and why? What do you think their answer might be?
  1. Dinosaur Detective: Go on a dinosaur hunt around your home or classroom! Look for objects or toys that remind you of the dinosaurs we learned about. Can you find something that looks like a long neck for a brachiosaurus or something spiky like a stegosaurus? Share your discoveries with a friend and explain why it reminds you of that dinosaur.

  2. Animal Sounds Adventure: Let’s play a game of animal sounds! Close your eyes and listen carefully. Can you guess which animal makes each sound? Try making the sounds of the animals from the story, like the cow’s “moo” or the rooster’s “crow.” Then, take turns with a friend to make different animal sounds and guess which animal it is.

  3. Creative Movement: Dinosaur Dance: Imagine you are one of the dinosaurs we talked about. How would a triceratops move with its big head and horns? How would a tyrannosaurus rex stomp around with its big teeth? Create your own dinosaur dance moves and show them to your classmates. Can you make a dance for each dinosaur?

Here’s a sanitized version of the provided YouTube transcript, removing any unnecessary sounds and maintaining the essence of the content:
