Dino Match! Dinosaur Word Matching Puzzles

June 22, 2020 by Selena Robinson Leave a Comment

Did everyone go through a crazy for dinosaurs phase or was it just me?

From age 8 until about age 11, I was insane about them. I had a model T-Rex figurine that had a mouth you could actually move.

I mean, how much better can it get than that?

My kids love dinosaurs too, so I thought dinosaurs would make a fun theme for an early literacy activity – these dinosaur word matching puzzles!

Simply cut them apart and let students start matching them up!

If you’re working with very early readers, you might want to start with one-syllable short word puzzles – such as “egg”, “nest”, and “sun”.

As students become more fluent readers, add in some of the larger words for a challenge.

If you use these at literacy centers, laminating them is a good way to make sure they hold up to repeated use by little hands.

These would also make a wonderful addition to a dinosaur unit!

Assign them to students to use at home or work with at science centers or in morning tubs!

Dinosaur Printable Pack

September 10, 2015 by Selena Robinson 1 Comment

Since my kids went to public school for a few months last year, this is actually our first day of homeschooling in ten months!

As you can imagine, it’s probably going to take us a while to get back into the “groove” of learning at home. Today should be interesting! 🙂

Our very first unit this year is dinosaurs. (My boys are already excited for it.) So I thought I’d share a new freebie today: A Dinosaur Printable Pack!

Free Dinosaur Printable Pack - Look! We're Learning!

Dinosaur Printable Pack

Everyone knows about T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Pteranodon, and Velociraptor by now. (Thanks Jurassic Park!) But there are a host of other dinosaurs that aren’t talked about as often.

Paleontologists are finding new fossil types quite often these days, so there are a lot of other dinosaur species to study! This pack includes tracing sheets, coloring pages, and flashcards for eight lesser-known dinosaurs, including:

  • Apatosaurus
  • Baryonyx
  • Iguanodon
  • Maiasaura
  • Parasaurolophus
  • Saltasaurus
  • Spinosaurus
  • and Torosaurus!

Whew! Try saying those three times fast! By the way, DinoDictionary is an awesome resource for learning how to say these and other dinosaur species names.
