Curriculum: I Want to Be a Dinosaur

Description

I Want to Be a Dinosaur is a high-energy, movement-driven speech, drama, and character development curriculum designed to build confident communicators through imagination, action, and expressive play.

This is more than a dinosaur theme—it is a full-body learning experience where children think, move, speak, and perform as they explore language, storytelling, and creativity in a fun and engaging way.

This curriculum consists of 12 carefully designed lessons, each building progressively from simple expression and guided play to confident storytelling, communication, and performance.
