I Am a Dinosaur Movement Poem

I am so excited today to be releasing a dinosaur movement poem! This poem focuses on actions that your young child can do along with counting from 1-15. I think that poetry and rhythm and rhyme and movement all help young children to learn and to be engaged and that’s why I made this video, with an original poem, written by me.

If you’d like to read this again for your child, here is a full text of the poem.

I am a Dinosaur

by Melissa Brander

I am a dinosaur

Can you hear my dino roar?

I stomp about with my big feet 

Some ate plants and some ate meat

I am a dinosaur

I’m too big to take to the store

But we weren’t all one kind –

There were many you could find

I am a dinosaur

What should you look for?

Some of us had tails

Lots of us had scales!

I am a dinosaur

Can you hear me snore?

Even dinosaurs have to sleep

It’s time for counting sheep

Do you want more dinosaur resources? I have great news! I have created a list of high quality dinosaur books to read aloud to your child. Featuring both books for younger kids as well as elementary level kids and fiction and non-fiction, you’re sure to find something your family loves on this list.

Head here to get a copy of the dinosaur booklist I put together to go with this video!
