Create an exciting archaeological dig experience! Hide toy dinosaur bones in a sandbox or container filled with sand. Give students brushes and small tools to carefully excavate their findings. They can document their discoveries in their 'Field Journal' and learn about paleontology firsthand. This activity teaches patience, observation skills, and scientific documentation.

Students can create their own fossils using playdough or clay! Have them press toy dinosaurs, leaves, or shells into the clay to make imprints. Once dry, they can paint their fossils to look authentic. This helps them understand how real fossils are formed and preserved over time.

Take learning outside! Use chalk to draw life-sized outlines of different dinosaurs on the playground. Have students measure the dinosaurs using non-standard units (like their feet or hands) and standard units. They'll be amazed at the actual size of these prehistoric creatures! Great for incorporating math skills.

Create a fun sorting activity where students group dinosaur pictures based on characteristics like diet (herbivore/carnivore), size, or when they lived. Use different colored paper for each category and have students explain their sorting choices. This reinforces scientific classification skills and vocabulary.

Have students write creative stories about a day in the life of their favorite dinosaur. They can illustrate their stories and share them with the class. This integrates language arts with science and allows students to apply what they've learned about dinosaur habits and habitats.

Take your class on a virtual field trip to the American Museum of Natural History's dinosaur exhibit! Students can explore fossil collections and learn from expert paleontologists. This is a great way to bring museum resources right into your classroom.

Get students moving with this fun activity! Call out different types of dinosaurs and have students move like them - stomp like a T-Rex, stretch tall like a Brachiosaurus, or flap arms like a Pterodactyl. Great for brain breaks and kinesthetic learning!

Create a mini archaeological site in your classroom using a large plastic bin filled with sand and buried 'artifacts' (pictures of fossils, toy bones, etc.). Students work in teams using archaeological tools to carefully uncover and document their findings. Perfect for teaching scientific method and teamwork!
