Dinosaurs likely didn’t sing, but here are some simple and easy dinosaur songs for children. These use tunes that are already well known.
Does singing happen at your house? Not on a machine or device but with family voices. It needs to because songs “aid a child’s ability to think” according to Sally Goddard Blythe. In her book, The Genius of Natural Childhood – Secrets of Thriving Children, Blythe writes that there is not enough emphasis placed on singing. It’s not only an essential part of children’s educational success, but also their well-being.
This song has the fewest words but it’s tricky for adults to sing the word big instead of little. Even little dinosaurs are big.
1 big, 2 big, 3 big dinosaurs.
4 big, 5 big, 6 big dinosaurs.
7 big, 8 big, 9 big dinosaurs,
10 BIG dinosaurs. ROAR.
The Dinosaurs In The Swamp (tune: Wheels on the Bus)
The Tyrannosaurus Rex goes roar, roar, roar.
Roar, roar, roar. Roar, roar, roar.
The Tyrannosaurus Rex goes Roar, roar, roar,
All around the swamp.
The Apatosaurus’ feet go stomp, stomp, stomp.
Stomp, stomp, stomp. Stomp, stomp, stomp.
The Apatosaurus’ feet go stomp, stomp, stomp,
All around the swamp.
The Pteranodon’s wings go flap, flap, flap,
Flap, flap, flap. Flap, flap, flap,
The Pteranodon’s wings go flap, flap, flap,
All around the swamp.
The Iguanodon’s teeth go munch, munch, munch.
Munch, munch, munch. munch, munch, munch.
The Iguanodon’s teeth go munch, munch, munch.
All around the swamp.
Dino-pokey (tune: Hokey Pokey)
You put your tail in, you put your tail out.
You put your tail in, and you sweep it all around.
You do the Dino-pokey and you turn yourself around.
That’s what it’s all about.
You put your claws in…and wave them all around.
You put your teeth in…and you crunch them all around.
You put your feet in…and stomp them all around.
You put your eyes in…and look them all around.
Besides these verses, you can add ones that you and your child think of. Remember to include the actions. What kind of voice would a dinosaur use to sing?
