It’s a Jurassic party! Young dinosaur fans will love these dinosaur party games. Download, print and enjoy 11 dinosaur-themed activities that will guarantee a roar-tastic party for a birthday guy (or gal) and their party guests.

Dinosaur party games and activities are the perfect way to keep your little ones entertained during your next dinosaur themed party. Dinosaur themed party games seem to bring a lot of joy to kids, so it only makes sense that you would choose this type of theme.

And, with so many great dino themed party games and activities to choose from, you’re sure to find the perfect ones for your party. Check out these fun dinosaur party games and more!

How do you host a dinosaur party?

Planning a Fun Dinosaur Party can be intimidating. First of all, the dinosaurs are prehistoric so there isn’t much interms of reference. Second, we all know parties can be costly. I am here to show you how to create a frugal dinosaur birthday party, especially when it comes to the entertainment aka party activities.

If you’re looking for some fun and unique ideas for your dinosaur themed party, then you’ve come to the right place. Here are some great tips to get you started:

Choose a Catchy Name for Your Party

This can be something like “Jurassic Party” or “Dino-Mite Party”. Use fun words like party-saurus, dino-mite, or roar-tastic. Make sure to use catch phrases like “stomp, chomp and roar!”

Make sure to great your guests with very formal names like paleontologists or archeologist. Using these formal titles make you look like a smart, educated and proper party planner. You might even offer your guests paleontologists vests and hats so that the scientific title really sticks.

Pick a Fun Invitation

Your invitation should be eye-catching and inviting. You can even find some great dinosaur party invitations online. While prehistoric snail mail printable dinosaur invitations are always fun, I find the digital dinosaur invitations to be a great option for the 21st century. You could even grab a personalized dinosaur invite where your child is riding on a T-rex… so unsafe! What will they think of next?

Dinosaur Themed Snacks

You can get really creative with your snacks and have a lot of fun with them. You can have things like “dinosaur bones” (pretzel sticks), “dinosaur eggs” (deviled eggs), or even “dinosaur poop” (chocolate pudding).

Try dino party food ideas like…

Cheeseballs can be meteorites
Bugles can be dinosaur claws or toe nails (… gross!)
A veggie tray can be a herbivore tray
Tiny sandwiches can be dino-wiches (… duh!)
Guacamole dip can be a swap while the accompanying chips are dinosaur scales.
The dessert table can be sweetivores.
The chicken nuggets can be Carnivore station (did you know they make dinosaur chicken nuggets?)
Blue punch can be a juice lagoon.
A dirty cup of pudding and mashed OREOs can be prehistoric dirt.
Sugar cookies with dinosaur footprints imprints can be fossil cookies.

It really easy to make common food into dinosaur birthday party themed snacks and recipes that you want to sink your teeth into. See more dinosaur party food ideas in our dino party.

Dinosaur Party Favor Ideas

Don’t forget the party favors! You can send your guests home with some fun dinosaur-themed favors, such as dinosaur stickers, erasers, pencils, tattoos, and candy! Gift these in a cute little bucket.

If you are short on a budget, use some of your dinosaur party décor as potential party favors. This can include the paleontologists vests and hats or tell your guests to “adopt a dinosaur” on the way out. That means they can pick up one of the precious plastic toy dinosaurs that are displayed around the room.

What are some good games to play at a dinosaur party?

Kids part entertainment can be expensive. With just a little planning, it’s possible to have a roar-tastic, amazing birthday party for a low-cost. These budget-friendly dinosaur themed party games are just want you need to plan your next Dinosaur Birthday Party. They include 11 tried and true really fun dinosaur themed birthday party games.

Dinosaur Egg Hatch

Blow up balloons and fill them with prizes. Hide them around the house or yard for the kids to find. Once they find the eggs, separate them into teams, and from there you see who can crack all of the eggs first.

How to play: Blow up a lot of white balloons for the dino eggs, filling them with tiny prizes (candy/stickers.) Place them in two separate “nests.” Nests can be made of blankets or sheets swirled up around them. Divide kids into teams, and let them choose a cool dinosaur team name. When the game begins, everyone can sit, stand or whatever they need to do to crack the eggs. The goal is for each team has to crack all of their “dinosaur eggs” first. The first team to succeed, gets the larger prize. All players can keep the smaller prizes.

Supplies: White balloons, blankets, small prizes.

Dancing Dinos

Like to freeze dance? This is a great game for younger kids. Put on some fun music and let the kids dance around like dinosaurs. You can even give them props, such as dinosaur tails or hats.

How to play: Play some upbeat (dinosaur) music and let the kids dance crazy. When the music is paused, each child must freeze like a fossil/frozen dino. If anyone is caught moving, they’re out. Last one standing is the winner.

Supplies: Music.

Egg Relay Race

For this spoon races game, you will need two teams and two baskets. Put a hard-boiled egg in each basket and have the kids race to see who can get the egg from their basket to the other team’s basket first, without dropping it.

How to play: Hard boil eggs to look like dino eggs. Divide teams into two for this relay. The first person in line has a spoon and egg. Every other player has a spoon. Each person with a spoon and egg must carry the egg on the spoon to a designated spot and back. As soon as the player returns to the line, he or she passes the egg to next person in line. Continue until everyone gets a turn . If the egg drops, return to your line and start over.

Supplies: Eggs, spoon.

Hot Dinosaur Egg

Just like the game “hot potato”, except you’re using a water balloon. Play the music and when the music stops, whoever is holding the water balloon is out.

How to play: Just like the classic game hot potato. Pass a water balloon around the circle and whoever’s holding it when the music stops is out! Play until there’s only one person left.

Supplies: Music, water balloons.

Dig for Treasure

Fill a sandpit with treasures, such as plastic dinosaurs, for the kids to find. You can even make it a competition by seeing who can find the most treasure in this dinosaur dig in a certain amount of time.

How to play: Fill a kiddy pool (or sandbox) with sand. Add beach shovels and small brushes. Similar to a dinosaur egg hunt, burry eggs (prizes) in the sand pit and allow kids to dig for buried treasure. Give each child a dinosaur party favor bucket or bag to hold prizes.

Supplies: Baby pool, sand, shovels, fossils, small brushes, eggs, small plastic dinosaurs, dinosaur birthday party favors, bags or buckets.

Are you looking for a quick and easy science lesson for kids? What about a fun craft activity for kids? How about a mix of both!?

If you are looking for a cute craft and activity for kids, why not quickly explore fingerprints while creating a bit of fun fingerprint animals with your child.

What animals have fingerprints?

Before you begin a fingerprint activity, make sure you know a little bit about the background of fingerprints. Fingerprints are the tiny ridges on the edge of a finger. They are essential the folds of skin that create a unique print to primates. In addition to human men, women, and children, there are a few animals that are closely related to homo sapiens (aka humans) that also include fingerprints on the tips of their hands. Gorillas, chimpanzees and koala bears have fingerprints that are almost identical to human ones.

Other animals have paw prints. Paw prints can come in set of three, four or five pawprints.

Extend the lesson with a microscope. Using an inkpad, put human fingerprints on paper and place the paper under the microscope. Study the ridge patterns and notice that each human print is unique!

Now that we have learned a little bit about fingerprints, let’s have fun with human fingerprint arts and crafts for kids…. of course, incorporating animals!

How to Make Fingerprint Animals

We have the cutest tutorial for you, Zoo Animals Fingerprint Art. This is a perfect rainy day activity for the littles. We included a tutorial for giraffes, lions, monkeys, snakes and tigers.

Add four long orange rectangle legs.
Make a simple line for the tail at the end of the body.
On top of the head, make two pointy ears.
On either side of the ears, make the giraffe’s ossicones. These are the horns on top of the giraffe’s head.
Add a little hair down the giraffe’s neck and on top of the head.
Color in a bit of hair on the end of the giraffe’s tail.
Make a smiling face for your giraffe!
Cover your giraffe in brown spots.
Using a gray marker, make hooves at the end of each foot with a simple rectangle shape.

Using a brown sharpie, draw a mane around the lion’s head. Add a bit of fluff to the end of the tail.

Make a vertical (up and down) thumbprint above, to the side, slightly off the body. This is the monkey’s head.

On the top part of the monkey’s head draw two eyes. On the horizontal part of the head, draw his/her two nostrils and a big smile.
At the end of each leg draw his feet.

Snake Fingerprint Art

Choose your colors of ink.
Make a horizontal thumbprint in the first color.
Behind that, using your pointer finger, use a different color ink to make a vertical fingerprint.
Then, go back to making a horizontal thumbprint.
