Once upon a time, in a land full of dinosaurs, there was a mommy dinosaur named Protoceratops. She was looking for her nest. “Where are my eggs?” she wondered. “I thought I left them by the tallest tree!”
Protoceratops looked everywhere. She even checked near the pretty flowers because she thought her babies might be there. But she couldn’t find them!
Suddenly, Protoceratops saw another dinosaur named Oviraptor near her nest. “Are you trying to take my eggs?” she asked. But Oviraptor said, “No, these are my eggs!”
Other dinosaurs came to see what was happening. They were curious about the eggs. “Is Oviraptor an egg thief?” they asked. But Oviraptor insisted, “These are my eggs!”
Then, a wise dinosaur named Troodon arrived. “Let’s think about this,” Troodon said. “There are 10 eggs. Maybe each mom should take five?”
But Protoceratops worried, “The babies might get hurt if we move them!”
Just then, the eggs started to hatch! The baby dinosaurs looked like Oviraptor. “See? They’re my babies!” Oviraptor said happily.
Protoceratops realized, “Oh no! Where are my eggs?”
Another dinosaur shouted, “Your babies are under the ginkgo tree!” Protoceratops rushed over and found her babies. “Oh, I love you so much!” she said.
Everyone was happy. Oviraptor was not an egg thief; she was a loving mom. And Protoceratops found her babies too!
All the dinosaurs, like the smart Troodon, the fast Hypsilophodon, and the head-buddy Pachycephalosaurus, were glad everything was okay.
Did you enjoy the dinosaur adventure? Remember to have fun learning and exploring new things every day!
Egg Hunt Adventure: Create a fun egg hunt in your classroom or backyard. Hide plastic eggs and let the children search for them, just like Protoceratops and Oviraptor. After finding the eggs, gather the children and discuss how they felt during the search. Ask them, “How did you know which eggs were yours?” and “What clues helped you find them?” This activity helps children understand the importance of observation and problem-solving.
Dinosaur Role Play: Encourage the children to act out the story of Protoceratops, Oviraptor, and Troodon. Provide simple costumes or props like dinosaur masks or paper eggs. Let them take turns playing different roles and express how each dinosaur might feel. After the role play, ask questions like, “How did Protoceratops feel when she couldn’t find her eggs?” and “What did Troodon do to help?” This activity promotes empathy and understanding of different perspectives.
Draw Your Dinosaur Family: Provide paper and crayons for the children to draw their own dinosaur family. Encourage them to think about where their dinosaur family might live and what their eggs would look like. Once they finish, ask them to share their drawings with the class and describe their dinosaur family. Questions like, “What makes your dinosaur family special?” and “Where would your dinosaur hide its eggs?” can help deepen their connection to the story and stimulate their imagination.

**Transcript:**
*Ping pong search for Baby Shark Brooklyn on YouTube.*
“I’ve lost my nest! Where are my eggs? Over here, over there, my little legs! Where did you go, my babies? Where are my babies? I found my oviraptor, the egg thief.”
“I thought I left them right there, right in front of the tallest tree. Where could they be? Is it here or over there? Mommy Protoceratops was looking for her nest, but it seems like she can’t find it.”
“Oh, flowers! How pretty! Since my babies are just as beautiful, they must be by the flowers.”
“Let’s see… Oh no, no! Get away! What are you doing here? Are you trying to steal my babies? Excuse me, this is my nest. Maybe she’s not a thief. No, I must be right! Help me! Help me! There’s an exit here!”
*After hearing Protoceratops, dinosaurs started to gather one by one.*
“What’s happened?”
“Well, this egg thief tried to steal my eggs while I went for a drink of water.”
“Are you really an egg thief? Wow, you definitely look like an egg thief!”
“No, no, that’s not true! Please listen to me.”
“Why do we have to listen to you? You must be an egg thief!”
“No, no, I’m not! They’re my eggs!”
“I can’t believe it! Now you’re saying they’re your eggs?”
*Just then, Troodon appeared. Troodons were known to be wise among dinosaurs.*
“What’s with all the noise?”
“She got caught stealing my eggs and now she’s saying they’re hers!”
“That’s not true! She suddenly appeared and started calling me a thief!”
“At times like this, we need to think. Let me see… Ah, I think I have a good idea. Since there are 10 eggs, you should each take five.”
“What? Just wait! I’ll divide them equally for you.”
“Oh no, you can’t! The babies might get hurt if you move them like that!”
“What should we do? Since there are 10 eggs and two moms, this is the best way.”
“Then do you have a better idea?”
“Just take them! It’s because they’re not your eggs!”
“I get it! Since you were the one thinking of the safety of the eggs, you must be the real mom.”
“Then what about me? I’m a mom too! I don’t want my babies to get hurt either, but you did not have the same urge to protect your eggs. Besides, time will solve this problem.”
*It was at that moment the babies started to hatch.*
“See? Do you still think I’m an egg thief? They look like me; they’re my babies!”
“I’m sorry! Then where are my eggs?”
“Oh, everyone’s here! Where is Mommy Protoceratops?”
“What are you doing here? Your babies are waking up underneath the ginkgo tree! Hurry!”
“The ginkgo tree? Then I’ll get going now!”
“Oh my babies, I love you so much! That’s right, Oviraptor was not an egg thief; she was the real mom. Baby Protoceratops will soon meet their mom too.”
*The rhinoceros look-alike Protoceratops, chicken-comb Oviraptor, wise dinosaur Troodon, small and fast Hypsilophodon, and the head-buddy master Pachycephalosaurus.*
