Dino Tail Activity 
Book: Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus Guy Parker, Guy Parker-Rees, Tony Mitton

• Read Bumpus Jumpus Dinosaurumpus.
• Everyone takes their own space to explore the movements of the dinosaurs. The teacher says, “Stomp like Tyranosaurus Rex, run fast like Deinonychuses, move slowly like a Brontosaurus, now fly like Pteranodon, and swim like a Hadrosaur. Give the kids time to explore each movement.
• Play “Catching the Dinosaur’s Tail” The children make a dinosaur by standing in a line and holding the shoulders of the child in front of them.
• On the signal, go, the head of the dinosaur or first person tries to touch the tail or the last person in line.
• If the body breaks or kids let go, the Dinosaur dies, and the head must become the tail.
• All the kids spread their legs apart so the tail can crawl through to become the head of the dinosaur.
• If the head person tags the tail, he remains the head and gets another turn. Put some music on for fun!

Songs: Tune: Eensy, Weensy Spider
All the big fat dinosaurs come to the dino-dance
Stomp through the trees and watch the others prance
Some swim so low and some fly very fast
All the big fat dinosaurs come to dance at last
