Materials for Dinosaur Matching Game

• Dinosaur Matching Game pdf file (download below).
• Two sheets of paper. I like to use heavier scrapbook paper.
• Printer.
• Laminator.
• Laminating pouches.
• Paper cutter or scissors.

What’s in the Printable PDF File?

The dinosaur matching game features six different dinosaurs: a blue ankylosaurus, a red tyrannosaurus, a green spinosaurus, a purple archaeopteryx, a gray apatosaurus, and a yellow compsognathus.

I’ve included three different versions of matching cards: One with the color names, one with the dinosaur names, and one with both the color names and the dinosaur names.

You’ll probably want to stick to one set of cards for younger toddlers, but you can definitely mix and match once your kids are up for it. N didn’t really see a difference between the different sets.

INTERESTING DINOSAUR FACTS

While the kids are playing this printable dinosaur bingo game you can share some fun dinosaur facts with them between calls.

I don’t think dinosaurs will ever go out of style. There always seems to be a new Jurassic Park movie coming out every few years to keep the craze going.

Here are some interesting dinosaur facts to share with your bingo players:

• Velociraptor means speedy thief.
• The T-Rex bite is supposedly more than twice as powerful as a lion’s bite.
• There have been dinosaur skulls found that are as long as a car.
• Dinosaur remains have been found on all continents.
• The first Stegosaurus skeleton was found in Colorado.
• Meat-eating dinosaurs are known as theropods.
• The word theropods mean beast-footed because they had sharp, hooked claws on their toes like a beast!
• The long tails of dinosaurs helped them keep their balance when they were running.
• Dinosaur is a Greek word that means terrible lizard.
• Explorer Roy Chapman Andrews found the first dinosaur nest in 1923 in the Mongolia Gobi Desert.
• There have been dinosaur eggs found that are as big as a basketball.
• Plant eating dinosaurs had eyes that faced out to each side so they could watch for danger while they were eating.

DINOSAUR THEMED PARTY IDEAS

Dinosaur Bingo Pdf

If you are having a dinosaur themed party you may need some more fun ideas. I have several boys at my house and they all loved dinos when they were younger!

• Have a fossil dig during the party. Fill up a small baby pool with sand and bury some “fossils” in the sand. Let the kids do their own dig!
• Make some dinosaur sugar cookies using these dinosaur cookie cutters. Let the kids decorate their own cookies for even more fun.
• Order some tiny plastic dinosaurs and then make some dinosaur ice cubes. Just place a plastic dinosaur into each ice cube tray slot. Add water and freeze. Put these into the cups and kids will be so excited when their ice melts!
• You can decorate for the party using a lot of hunting type decor. Greenery and camo type items work great for the prehistoric time period.
• It is fun to use a dinosaur footprint template to cut out dinosaur steps that lead up to the front door for the party.
