Once upon a time, in a land of prehistoric creatures, all the dinosaurs were having a picnic. Stegosaurus brought the veggies, Triceratops brought the fruit, Pterodactyl flew in with the drinks and Parasaurolophus brought the music! Brontosaurus was in charge of the games, but she couldn't decide what to play. Suddenly, Ankylosaurus had an idea. "Let's play hide and seek!" he suggested. Everyone agreed, and they all scattered off into the jungle to hide.
When it was Ankylosaurus' turn to seek, he couldn't find any of his friends. As he wandered around, he heard laughter coming from above. He looked up and saw that Pterodactyl was hiding in a tree, pretending to be a bird! "Ha ha, I found you Pterodactyl!" Ankylosaurus exclaimed.
Next, he heard a rustling in the bushes. It was Triceratops hiding behind some leaves, trying to blend in with the environment. Ankylosaurus chuckled, "I see you there, Triceratops."
Finally, he found Stegosaurus hiding behind a rock, pretending to be a statue. And then he heard a tune coming from the distance -- it was Parasaurolophus playing his flute! Ankylosaurus laughed, "I hear you, Parasaurolophus!"
But where was Brontosaurus? Ankylosaurus searched high and low, until he finally found her hiding behind a waterfall! She was making rumbling noises, pretending to be a volcano. "Ha ha, I got you, Brontosaurus!"
With all his friends found, Ankylosaurus declared, "Everyone is here! Let's go back to the picnic and continue our fun day together." And so, they all went back to the picnic, happy and full of laughter.

Reflections

1. How did each of the dinosaurs hide during the game of hide and seek?
2. Who was in charge of the picnic games?
3. What was Ankylosaurus' solution for finding all his friends?
4. What happened when Ankylosaurus finally found all of his friends?
5. Can you imagine what other games the dinosaurs might play if they had another picnic?
