Mr. Mike's Dinosaur Programs: CLICK each logo for more details!

An interactive discussion that encourages  children to participate, ask questions and share their own dino knowledge.  A Mr. Mike DINO CHAT involves the kids by displaying dino models, fossils...and ancient shark teeth and shares easy-to-understand facts about the dinosaurs and other extinct beasts.

Content is customized to be appropriate for all ages -- even college students and senior citizens!  

JERRY the Book-Lovin' Gator Puppet is not a dinosaur (he's a distant cousin), but he still thoroughly enjoys reading dino stories to the children.  He's an outspoken advocate for literacy and (along with Mr. Mike) seeks to encourage a love for reading and leads by example.  

He'll share some of Mr. Mike's own stories as well as other popular dino books.  

Here's the challenge:  can you tell the difference between an actual ancient animal name...and one that Mr. Mike made up?  Good luck!  

Contestants compete for cool dino prizes while the audience weighs in with their own opinions.  

The  DINORIFIC SCIENTIFIC NAME GAME  is "so easy to play...yet so hard to win!"

How do you fully engage a group of dino-lovers?  Let their imaginations go wild while their hands create their own dinosaur model!  With Mr. Mike's help, they'll create a Brachiosaurus or Plesiosaurus...or invent their own! 

DINORIFIC ART is suited to smaller groups (under 30) since it can require a significant amount of individual attention.   Larger groups can be accommodated with assistance from staff/instructors. 

The age at which children begin their fascination with dinosaurs is trending younger all the time.  Some parents report their child began at 10 months!  

So for those kids that have already been into dinosaurs for a couple years, Mr. Mike created the MYSTERIOSAURUS program.  It's a group activity where kids are challenged to identify a set of bones (and reach a consensus with the  other children in their group) as to what animal they all "discovered."  

Prefer your "fact-packed dino-rhymes" with a little melody?  Presto!  Mr. Mike teams up with his pal, Dr. Bob, to perform a concert of catchy, fact-packed dino-tunes. Many of the dinorific ditties are "direct descendants" of Mr. Mike's own dinorific poems.  

The DINORIFIC DUO'S musical genres range from reggae and country...to blues and rock 'n roll.  The kids will have a blast and the musical aficionados?  They'll really dig it too.
