1. Dino Balloon Pop
How to play
Fill balloons with small dinosaur-themed toys or candies before inflating them. Create a balloon wall, and kids take turns popping balloons with darts to reveal their surprise. Each child keeps the contents of the balloon they pop.
2. Dino Bowling
How to play
Set up a dinosaur-themed bowling alley using plastic dinosaur figurines as pins and a soft ball as the bowling ball. Kids take turns rolling the ball and trying to knock down as many “dinosaurs” as possible.
3. Pterodactyl Egg Toss
How to play
Kids pair up and stand at increasing distances from each other. They take turns tossing a “pterodactyl egg” (a water balloon) to their partner. The last pair with an intact egg wins.
4. Dinosaur Memory Game
How to play
For this game, you’ll create pairs of cards with images of different dinosaurs on them. You can buy ready made ones shown below. Arrange the cards face down and have the children take turns flipping them over to find matching pairs.
5. Dino Egg Spoon Race
How to play
Set up an egg and spoon race, but with a twist. Children must balance dinosaur eggs (plastic eggs filled with small toys or candies) on their spoons as they race to the finish line. The first one to cross without dropping the egg wins.
6. Fossil Freeze Dance
How to play
Play freeze dance with a dinosaur twist. Kids dance to dinosaur-themed music, but when the music stops, they must freeze in a dinosaur pose. The last one moving is out, and the game continues until only one child remains.
7. Dino Dig Site
How to play
Create a mini archaeological dig site with a sandpit. Bury dinosaur toys and fossils in the sand, and provide children with brushes and tools to excavate their discoveries. The child who finds the most fossils wins a prize.
8. Dino Quiz Show
How to play
For this game, you’ll prepare a set of dinosaur-related questions with varying levels of difficulty. Divide the children into teams, and take turns asking questions. Teams earn points for correct answers, and the team with the most points at the end wins a prize. Use our Dinosaur Trivia questions and answers.
9. Dinosaur Fact or Fiction
How to play
In this game, you’ll present a mix of facts and myths about dinosaurs. Kids take turns guessing whether each statement is true (fact) or false (fiction). This game is not only fun but also educational, as it allows children to learn interesting facts about dinosaurs. Check out our dinosaur fact or fiction sheet.
10. Dino Bingo
How to play
Create or buy bingo cards with different dinosaur species instead of numbers. Use small dinosaur figurines as markers, and call out the names of the dinosaurs. The first child to complete a row shouts “DINO!” and wins a prize.
