How tall was a T-Rex?

We ended dinosaur week with everyone's favorite.....The Tyrannosaurus Rex!!!

I asked the students how tall a t-rex was.

Awesome problem solving and creative thinking!

I had a pre-measured piece of yarn in my hand. (20 Feet long)

I asked the students if he was as tall as me.

 (holding the yarn even with the top of my head, letting the extra yarn drag the ground)

Students: "NO, taller!"

So I climbed onto a shelf and held the yarn to the ceiling.

Me: "Was a t-rex this tall?"

Students: "NO, taller!"

We then went outside. 

Me: "Where could I go to get taller?"

Students: "Stand on the slide."

Me: "Is this how tall a t-rex was?"

Students: "No, taller!"

Me: "Where can I go to get taller?"

Students: "Get on the roof!"

Me: "Ohhh, good idea!"

Up I went!

Me: "Is this how tall a t-rex was?"

Students: "YES!!"

 We also stomped like a t-rex to the beat of a drum! Great activity for "fast and slow".
