1 Going for a song
ADULT-LED
Write your own dinosaur songs.
Resources
Ideally, a flipchart and pen, but they are not essential
Preparation
* Remind the children of the tune 'She'll be coming round the mountain' or teach it to them.
* This activity is best carried out when all the children have had some experiences of dinosaur role-play, puppet play or small-world play as they will be able to use their play-based experiences to help write the song.
Key learning intentions
To enjoy listening to songs, and to make up their own songs
To extend vocabulary
Activity content
* Explain to the children that you are going to create a new version of the song 'She'll be coming round the mountain', and that it is going to be about dinosaurs.
