    About This Game

    Children classify dinosaurs by diet using teeth, body clues and famous species facts.

    Top Tip

    Sharp teeth → meat. Flat grinding teeth → plants.

    Skills You Are Practising
    • Science vocabulary
    • Classification
    • Reading clues
    • Herbivore vs carnivore
    In the real world

    Sorting herbivores and carnivores is early classification — the heart of science sorting and food webs.

    For parents & teachers
    • Ask which clue word gave it away.
    • Visit a museum fossil hall if you can.

    Who it suits: Ages 5–13. Easy uses famous dinos; hard uses theropod/sauropod language.
