Dinosaur Song for Preschool Kids

The dinosaur song is our new family project. I have written this song to make my English lesson with preschoolers more interesting and engaging. The mysterious world of dinosaurs is always fascinating for kids! It is fun to have an imaginary travel with children to prehistoric times when those huge and awesome creatures populated the Earth. Children can learn many things about our planet, nature and animals. So let’s get our time machine together and visit a cute stegosaurus family that lived during the Jurassic period some 150 millions years ago.

This song is very simple and perfectly adapted for young English learners from 2 to 5 years old. Our son who is 3,5 years old is very fond of dinosaurs and he loved this song very much. That’s why we decided to perform it together. I think making such family project encourages kids to learn more about our world and to master the language with the help of music, singing and dramatizing interesting stories.


The animation was created by my husband. Our family friend – artist Igor Lukyanov – helped us create some cute illustrations of the main characters for this song video.

Here are the Dinosaur Song lyrics:

Who is this? Who is this?
Who is this? Who is this?
So big, big, big, big, big, big, big!

Who is this? Who is this?
Who is this? Who is this?
So big, big, big, big, big, big, big!

It’s a dinosaur. It’s a dinosaur.
Big, big, big, big, big, big dinosaur.
It’s a dinosaur. It’s a dinosaur.
Big, big, big, big, big, big dinosaur.

Who is this? Who is this?
Who is this? Who is this?
So small, small, small, small, small, small, small.
Who is this? Who is this?
Who is this? Who is this?
So small, small, small, small, small, small, small.

It’s a dinosaur. It’s a dinosaur.
Small, small, small, small, small, small dinosaur.
It’s a dinosaur. It’s a dinosaur.
Small, small, small, small, small, small dinosaur.

Dinosaurs Worksheets

In addition I would like to offer you a few English worksheets on the dinosaur topic featuring the characters of the song video.

Worksheet 1: The first worksheet is a dot-to-dot coloring page. Children must connect the dots from 1 to 50 and then color the baby dinosaur. This assignment improves math and fine motor skills as well as develops kids’ imagination. This task is for older kids who can count and have solid drawings and coloring skills.

Worksheet 2: This task introduces the letter Dd that stands for a dinosaur. I hope this worksheet will be useful for your ABC teaching lessons. This worksheet is good for even the youngest kids who just begin learning English.

Worksheet 3: This task aims at learning and practicing the idea of big and small objects. Children must identify which dinosaur is big and which one is small and fill the gaps with corresponding words.
