  2. The Dinosaur Who Lost His Roar - Teacher's Notes Teaching

    Notes Prepare the story – tell the students that Desmond the Dinosaur has lost his roar – and let’s see if we can help him find it again. During the story, Desmond and his friends go on a trip. Some of his friends join the dinosaur orchestra and some of them join the dinosaur dancing troupe to serenade him and send out some positive vibes. • There’s a special part in the first chorus for you to sing and do the actions that go like this – ‘Poor, poor, Desmond, aww!’ • In the 2nd chorus when Desmond finds his roar – you can sing ‘Hooray Desmond – Roar!’ • We can also sing these special hand signs in the Choruses that go like this – see over • For 6-8 year olds – teach this partner clapping pattern if appropriate

    Dinosaur Rock Verse 1 Now Desmond was a dinosaur who lived a long time ago He roamed the land with his dinosaur friends and they all moved very slow Move slowly like a dinosaur One day as he was hunting for some juicy leaves A big blow fly flew up his nose and this made Desmond freeze Chorus So Desmond reached up Then down to the floor He shook his head Let out a big roar (make a big roar) He turned round and round Then you wouldn’t believe He blew that fly right out of his nose with a mighty dinosaur sneeze (make a big sneeze) Verse 2 Now all the other dinosaurs were really quite surprised As they watched Desmond jumping round they couldn’t believe their eyes Jump around with Desmond And when he’d finally finished they stood in total shock Then they all said: “Desmond, can you teach us the dinosaur rock?” Chorus Verse 3 Now we all know that dinosaurs aren’t around these days But if they were they’d move around in wacky dinosaur ways Move around in wacky dinosaur ways Now if you hear a blow fly buzzing don’t reach for the swat It might just be Desmond doing the dinosaur rock Chorus x 2 This song is a lovely extension of the story.
