Teacher tip

Let each child pick a different dinosaur so the class makes a full book.

How to use it

  • Bring in a toy dinosaur and ask kids what clues tell us what it ate.
  • Measure a dinosaur’s length in the hallway with string.
  • Let partners compare answers and settle any differences with a book or a video.

Watch for

People and dinosaurs never lived at the same time.

Talk about it

  • Which dinosaur would you want to meet?
  • Where have you seen this outside of school?

Take it further

Hold a class fossil dig with plaster and small toys.
