Dinosaurs have great big jaws - Song

Dinosaurs' Jaws and Paws (rhythm, pulse)

Mime a Dinosaur

First of all say the words in a rhythmical way and show the children how to mime the actions of 'great big jaws and pointy teeth', 'little paws and great big feet' and looking horrified (or pleased, or excited) if you saw one one your street.

Body Percussion Dinosaur

Everyone practise tapping knees straight after you say the words, pointy teeth, great big feet and on your street. Then ask the children to make body sounds too, at the end of each verse eg 'little paws and great big feet' could be lighly clapping hands and then stamping feet.

Instruments Dinosaur

Divide the group into three and give out different sounding instruments to each group. After the last line of each verse, the corresponding group plays:

• pointy teeth - claves (tap, tap, tap)
• great big feet - drums (boom, boom ,boom)
• on your street - bells/tambourines (sshhhhaakkke)
