Five Big Dinosaurs

Hold up your hand

Move your fingers to the beat

These are the dinosaurs so very big

When we start out let me see all five

Then oops! Say good-bye ...one goes and hides

Five big dinosaurs stomping all around

Stompin and a boppin'

Swaying to the sound

There goes one dinosaur

Oops, say good-bye

Four big dinosaurs still left behind.

Four big dinosaurs stompin' all around...

...But, stop!

And look the five dinosaurs are back once again

Ready to play together as friends

Bingo

Picture BINGO is a great game for younger kids. All you have to do is make a 4x4 grid and put a different animal picture in each of the squares. Then, have a large picture of the animal available so that you can hold up the picture and say the animal. Even if the kids don't know what a zebra is, when they see the picture, they can match it up with what is on their card. Another way to do this is to have things that make noise and play sound bingo. Then play the sound and/or show the picture. Hope this helps.
