Theme: Dinosaurs
Opening Songs
First Book
Triceratops Stomp, by Karen Patkau
Song with Ukulele
One dinosaur went out to play
On a bright and sunny day.
He had such enormous fun
That he called another dinosaur to come.
OH DI-NO-SAUR!
(Pat hands on thighs) Thump! Thump!
Additional verses:
2 dinosaurs…
3 dinosaurs…
4 dinosaurs…
5 dinosaurs…
…Instead they heard their mother,
And she was calling, “DINNER!”
And they all went home for dinner!

Action Rhyme
Dino-Pokey
You put your claws in.
You put your claws out.
You put your claws in,
and shake them all about.
You do the Dino-Pokey
and you turn yourself around
That what it’s all about.
Repeat with other parts of your dinosaur body.
Repeat with Tail, Horns, and Body
