Dance Like a Dinosaur to "Walk the Dinosaur"

T-Rex Thunder Stomp
Introduce the children to the fearsome Tyrannosaurus Rex with the Thunder Stomp.

Add fun by incorporating roaring sounds and mimicking the T-Rex’s short arms for a full character portrayal.
Velociraptor Rapid Run
Shift gears with the agile Velociraptor. Instruct the kids to engage in the Rapid Run, a fast-paced move involving quick, short steps on the spot. Encourage side-to-side movements to mimic the raptor’s sharp hunting maneuvers, keeping arms bent and ready to leap, enhancing the portrayal of this clever dinosaur.
Brachiosaurus High Reach
Next, explore the gentle nature of the Brachiosaurus with the High Reach. Have the children stretch their arms upward, imitating the dinosaur’s elongated neck reaching for leaves. This slower, more graceful movement provides a calming contrast to the more dynamic dinosaur dances, reflecting the serene giant’s way of life. dinosaur.
Triceratops Forward Charge

Stegosaurus Tail Swing
Conclude with the Stegosaurus and its distinctive Tail Swing. Encourage kids to sway their hips side to side, symbolizing the Stegosaurus’s spiked tail used for defense. Alternating knee bends can simulate the dinosaur’s distinctive, slow gait, adding authenticity to the portrayal.
