I created this activity because I thought think it was is interesting to introduce the different types of dinosaurs through acting. This could be an introductory activity to the topic since it is a quick game that can be used as an initial warm-up activity. 

Target group and Time

This activity is quite simple, so it can be used from 4th grade on. Of course, it can be adapted to increase the complexity of the vocabulary and sentences for more advanced classes.

Instructions to set up the activity

Each participant will receive receives a small card with the name of a dinosaur, the picture of the dinosaur and 3 characteristics (vocabulary, adjectives and verbs). The participants will have 3 minutes to 3 study their card even though they can . (They can also keep it with them during the whole activity to help them out with what they want to say.)

...

The participants have to present which dinosaur they are in front of the group by acting like a real dinosaur. 

The " teacher " will start by giving an example in front of the group, using a different voice, making movements , acting toact like a dinosaur.  

For example: "I am Tyrannosaurus Rex.  I am big, strong and have small arms.".
