Requirements
- Play a dinosaur game that shows what you know about them.
- Create an imaginary dinosaur. Share with your den or family its name, what it eats, its size, and where it lives.
- Be a paleontologist and dig through a dinosaur dig.
- Build a fossil layer.
Tips and Tricks
- The dinosaur dig requires a bit of prep. If you use the plaster of paris method to create the dig, you will need to prep this a week ahead of time. I recommend either having a parent prep this ahead or doing it at the end of a Den Meeting.
- Have fun with the fossil layer activity!
Special Needs Considerations
- For the fossil dig activity consider different tools for any Scouts with tactical or sensory issues.
- There are various online and app resources to use tablet based digs. ABCya offers one game, but you will have to watch an advertisement.
