DINOSAUR PICTURE SNAP CARDS
Expand upon children’s knowledge of dinosaurs whilst playing a fun game of snap (or a memory game of ‘picking up pairs’) with this set of snap cards. The cards are made with a tab/patterned back which can be folded before lamination in order to strengthen the final product. This also means that when turned over, the picture on the front can not be seen.

DINOSAUR SOUNDS - PHASE 1 PHONICS ACTIVITY
These card prompts are for encouraging the children to think of what sounds these dinosaurs might have made.
• Tell the children that no-one knows for sure what these dinosaurs sounded like, so we need some great ideas.
• When showing these card prompts draw attention to whether the dinosaur is small, large, or gigantic! Will this affect the sound?
• How about whether the dinosaur looks fierce or timid… does this change what they think?
An additional sound activity could be to think about the sounds the dinosaurs’ footsteps would make, paying attention to the size of the dinosaur and how heavy it would have been.

DINOSAUR BONE CVC WORD BUILDER GAME
Enjoy teaching your children the basics of blending sounds to create words when you play this fun ‘Dinosaur’ themed 'CVC word builder' game together! Easy to play and instructions included on the front page. Will you end up making a 'real' or 'nonsense' word when you put your CVC bone together? Why not use this game in conjunction with 'Phase 2 Letters and Sounds Flashcards', 'Sound Mat' or the 'Cut and Match Activity'? Various themed Phase 2 word cards also available in the Literacy section.
Please note that all Phase 2 sounds are included and so it is at your own discretion as to the selection of sounds you use in order to allow/prevent particular undesirable letter combinations!

DINOSAUR TALLY CHART/CHECK LIST
Dinosaur themed tally chart. Your children will love to use this as part of an out and about hunt activity (for example dinosaurs hidden around your outdoor area) or in conjunction with a 'Dinosaur' themed tuff spot or feely bag. Use as a Tally Chart or Check List. Differentiate expectations for individual children within your care. Some children may simply use it as a visual cue whilst others may begin to make marks resembling tally lines or even numbers. Alternatively ask your children ‘Which is your favourite dinosaur?’ and collect the results as a group. Which dinosaur has the most votes? Perhaps use in conjunction with our ‘Dinosaur Pictogram Chart Activity’.

DINOSAUR PICTOGRAM CHART
Dinosaur Pictogram Chart pictures designed for children to not only think about their favourite dinosaur, but also realise that others may not have the same favourite. In addition, children begin to learn about simple graphs and charts. Ideal for use in a classroom, preschool, nursery or childminder setting. Children do not have to necessarily complete the activity at the same time, but a chart can be added to a display and individual children can add their own favourites at appropriate times. Simply place the four large dinosaurs on the first page in a horizontal line to form the base of the chart and children can add their own favourite smaller dinosaur above to create the vertical lines of a chart. The lengths of the lines can be compared and number of dinosaurs on each can be counted to find totals. Questions such as ‘How many children like the triceratops?’ may be asked. To really extend mathematical thinking, questions such as ‘How many more children like the tyrannosaurus rex than the triceratops?’ could be delved into. Please note that pterodactyls were pterosaurs (a type of flying reptile), not technically dinosaurs.

FEED THE DINOSAURS DICE GAME - ODD/EVEN & CARNIVORE/HERBIVORE
Fun game to develop dinosaur knowledge including the terms ‘herbivore’ (plant eater) and ‘carnivore’ (meat eater). Along with developing/consolidating number recognition of dice numbers 1-6, this game also begins to sew the seeds of odd and even numbers. Children also develop listening and turn taking skills whilst having fun together! The game can easily be differentiated by outcome and adult input. Instructions on first page.

DINOSAUR FOOTPRINT NUMBER LINE FLOOR ACTIVITY
Dinosaur Footprint number line activity from 0 to 10 or 0 to 20. (Both versions included in file.) Print, cut (and laminate if desired) the footprints for a fun floor activity that reinforces number recognition and ordering to ten/twenty. (Take care as to what surface you place the footprints on as children may wish to step on them pretending to be dinosaurs!) Children start the number line with the ‘0’ at the bottom and think about the next number needed until they reach the ‘Roar!’ at the end at number ‘10’ and ‘20’. Extend children further by taking a number out of the completed line and asking children to work out which is missing. Of course these dinosaur footprints 0-20 once cut out could have many other applications. For example why not try hiding them in the garden/outdoor area or in a sand pit for the children to find and identify the numbers? Perhaps you could challenge your children to place the correct number of objects on each footprint?
