T-REX RANCH PARK RANGER TRAINING GUIDE: TRAINING TIPS

FIND A GROWN-UP TO HELP YOU!

Being a Park Ranger is fun, but it can be dangerous, so it’s always
good to have grown-up around to help. They are especially helpful at
cleaning up those heavy piles of dino doodie!

EAT WELL TO BECOME FAST AND STRONG!

Park Rangers get fast and strong by eating their veggies and
spending lots of time outdoors.

TRAINING
SET YOUR PARAMETERS FOR YOUR RANCH!
This can be your front or back yard, or special spot in a nearby park. Just
make sure your dinosaurs have enough space to roam.

TIPS

BLASTER PRACTICE
Print out your Blaster Target or make your own. Tape to a tree, fence, or
other sturdy object and take 10 giant steps back. Make sure all your friends
and grown-ups are standing back and practice your aim. If it’s too easy, take
three steps back and try again.

HOW FAST CAN YOU GO?

Time yourself running the length of your Ranch, along your driveway, or
around your block. Then, after a quick drink of water time yourself again and
see if you achieve a better time! How fast can your grown-up run the same
distance?

KNOW YOUR DINOSAURS

Get to know the dinosaurs of T-Rex Ranch! We’ve included some facts
on these coloring pages, but you can learn more by reading a book or
visiting a museum.

VELOCIRAPTORS
Velociraptors are “theropods,” like
the T-Rex, but they are much, much
smaller and known for their quick
speed. Velociraptors are carnivorous,
which means they ate meat.

TYRANNOSAURUS REX
The “King” of dinosaurs roamed the earth
between 66 and 68 million years ago
and were both quick and deadly! Also
carnivorous, T-Rex’s bite is still considered
the strongest of all the land animals that
ever lived!

STEGOSAURUS
Stegosaurus is a member of the “armoured
dinosaurs” family. The distinctive plates on
their back were not attached to their skeleton,
rather they grew out of their skin and were
probably not used to fend off enemies. The
spiked tail, however, was quite deadly!

TRICERATOPS
Triceratops is a member of a family of
dinosaurs that is known for their horns
and beak-like mouths. Triceratops was
a herbivore, which meant they only ate
plants.

PTERANODON
While these flying reptiles lived millions of years
ago alongside T-Rex, Stegosaurus, Pteranodon is
not technically a dinosaur as they do not share
a common ancestor. They are still welcome on
T-Rex Ranch!

BRACHIOSAURUS
Brachiosaurus is one member of a family of gigantic, plant-
eating dinosaurs called sauropods who walked on four legs
and had really long necks and tails. Other sauropods are
Apatosaurus, Brontosaurus, and Diplodocus.

HANDS-ON FUN!
Science is an important part of being a great Park Ranger!
We know all we know about dinosaurs from paleontologists,
who are scientists who study fossils. At T-Rex Ranch, Park
Rangers discover new tricks to defeat the Dinomaster by
doing experiments.

So roll up your sleeves and prepare to get your hands

dirty with these fun activities! Always have your grown-up
to help!
