Once upon a time, there were some playful dinosaurs who loved to have fun. They were always on the move, exploring and having adventures. Do you know what they loved to do the most? They loved to march!
Before they started their big adventure, the dinosaurs stopped to eat some yummy food. Eating gave them lots of energy for their exciting day ahead. Can you think of your favorite snack that gives you energy?
After their tummies were full, the dinosaurs began to march. They marched and marched, making big dinosaur steps. Can you march like a dinosaur? Try lifting your knees high and stomping your feet!
Marching was so much fun that the dinosaurs invited everyone to join them. They sang a happy song while they marched: “We are the dinosaurs, marching, marching. We are the dinosaurs, having fun!”
Would you like to join the dinosaur parade? You can march around your room or outside, just like the dinosaurs. Remember to sing your favorite marching song!
Marching with the dinosaurs is not only fun, but it also helps us learn. We learn about moving our bodies, keeping rhythm, and having fun with friends. What other fun activities do you like to do with your friends?
So, next time you want to have an adventure, remember the marching dinosaurs and have a roaring good time!
Dinosaur Snack Time Experiment: Let’s explore what gives us energy just like the dinosaurs! With the help of an adult, try tasting different snacks like fruits, vegetables, or crackers. After eating, see how high you can jump or how fast you can run. Which snack gives you the most energy? Talk about why you think that snack helps you move like a dinosaur!
Create Your Own Marching Song: Just like the dinosaurs, you can make your own marching song. Think of fun words that rhyme or talk about your favorite things. Sing your song while you march around the room or outside. Can you make up a new verse each time you march?
Dinosaur Footprint Adventure: With some paper and crayons, draw big dinosaur footprints. Place them on the floor in a line. Try marching from one footprint to the next, lifting your knees high and stomping your feet. Can you count how many steps it takes to reach the end? Try making the footprints closer or farther apart and see how it changes your marching!
Here’s a sanitized version of the transcript:
“We stopped to eat our food, and then we marched around because we are the dinosaurs marching. Marching, we are the dinosaurs.”
