Hello Song (using ASL):  Hello Friends

Hello friends,
Hello friends,
Hello friends,
It’s time to say hello.

ASL Sign & Sing: DINOSAUR

Today we learned to sign “dinosaur” using ASL. Sing this song while signing dinosaur to help reinforce the sign in your memory!

Tune: The Wheels on the Bus
The dinosaur roams across the land,
Across the land,
Across the land
The dinosaur roams across the land,
And then they run and hide

Stegosaurus Song:  We’re Going on a Dino Hunt

Let’s go on a journey to the Mesozoic era!
Get into your time machine (pretend to open door and step inside)
Buckle up (pretend to get fasten a seatbelt)
Hold on tight (pretend to hold on)
Press go! (pretend your zooming through time)
We landed!
Let’s open up the door and step outside! (pretend to undo seatbelt, open door, and step out)

CHORUS:
(pat a rhythm on your legs, this verse can be sung as a call and repeat)
We’re going on a dino hunt,
We’re going to catch a fierce one,
What a beautiful day,
We’re not scared.

WAIT!
(mime the actions of this verse)
I see something!
It’s tall,
And colorful,
And wet,
It’s a tropical forest!

We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
What should we do?
Let’s go through!
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh (pretend to walk through the forest)

CHORUS

WAIT!
(mime the actions of this verse)
I see something!
It’s rocky,
And deep,
And steep,
It’s a crater!

We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
What should we do?
Let’s go through!
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch (pretend to trek through the crater)

CHORUS

WAIT!
(mime the actions of this verse)
I see something!
It’s wide,
And wet,
And windy,
A river!

We can’t go over it,
We can’t go under it,
What should we do?
Let’s swim through!
Splash, splash, splash, splash (pretend to swim through the river)

CHORUS

WAIT!
(mime the actions of this verse)
I see something!
It’s big,
It has a tail,
And back plates,
It’s a stegosaurus!

QUICK! (pat a faster rhythm)
(mime the actions of this verse)
Splash, splash, splash, splash through the river
Crunch, crunch, crunch, crunch, through the crater
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, swoosh, through the forest
Get back into your time machine! (pretend to step inside)
Buckle up (pretend to get fasten a seatbelt)
Hold on tight (pretend to hold on)
Press go (pretend your zooming through time)
Whew, we made it back! (pretend to land)

Goodbye song: Goodbye friends

Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
Goodbye friends,
It’s time to say goodbye.
