26 resources availableAbout Dinosaurs Resources
Dinosaur teaching resources tap into one of the most powerful motivators in primary education — the natural fascination children have with these prehistoric creatures. Dinosaur themes provide engaging context for learning across the Australian Curriculum, from scientific inquiry and information report writing to measurement, timeline skills, and creative storytelling. Students who might struggle with engagement in other contexts often come alive when dinosaurs enter the classroom.
TeachBuySell hosts a variety of dinosaur resources created by Australian primary teachers. Browse dinosaur-themed reading comprehension passages, creative writing prompts, maths activities using dinosaur measurements, science activities exploring fossils and extinction, and display materials that bring the prehistoric world into your classroom. Many resources include differentiated versions for mixed-ability groups.
Dinosaur resources work brilliantly as a themed unit across multiple learning areas or as stand-alone activities within specific subjects. A dinosaur unit can incorporate English (information and narrative texts), Mathematics (measurement, timelines, data), Science (fossils, living things, Earth changes), and HASS (chronology and historical inquiry). Whether you need a week-long integrated unit for Year 3 or a set of dinosaur maths worksheets for your Year 1 rotation, you will find high-quality options in our collection.
