Children love dinosaurs. Here are some charming songs about
Dinosaurs that teach children about the mighty beasts of
long ago. Young Children learn best through action and song
and what better way to teach children about dinosaurs than
to make up a fun rhyme and turn it into an easily remembered
song about the great beasts, especially when it is set to a
familiar tune or has accompanying gestures? Here are five of
our favorites:
-->
I'm a Mean Old Dinosaur
(Author Unknown)
(Sung to tune of "I'm a little Tea Pot")
I'm a mean old Dinosaur
(Make a mean face, - kids make the cutest mean faces)
Big and Tall
(Gesture hands big and tall)
Here is my tail, here is my claw.
(Gesture hands behind your back for tail and make claw hands)
When I get all hungry
(Rub your tummy)
I just growl
(have the kids exaggerate the grrroooowwwlll)
Look out kids I'm on the prowl.
(Here I tickle each one of the tummy and they all giggle)
-->
The Tyrannosaurus Rex

The dinosaurs lived long ago, when life on earth began.
Some were tall (gesture high).
Some were small (gesture low).
Some liked water (gesture swimming).
Some liked land (gesture walking by alternating palms on your knees).
Pteranodons had leathery wings (gesture flying).
Brontosaurs, long necks (gesture to neck).
But the meanest dinosaur of all (make a mean face).
