Play a game of dinosaur tag today. Whoever is 'it' has must scrunch up their arms insides their shirt to make their arms short like a T-rex and try to tag the others. And bonus points for making T-rex noises as you run around! The variations on this game are endless.

Taking some of your sand mix, place a plastic dinosaur on top of the mix in your hand. Add the sand mix on top of the dinosaur, and begin packing around the sides. Continue adding the sand, flour, salt and coffee grounds mixture and form into an egg to completely cover the dinosaur.

Shuffle the cards and give each player 7 cards (if there are four or more players, give 5 cards each). The remaining cards are placed in the centre in a draw pile. Any player can start, and the game proceeds clockwise thereafter. The first player can ask any one of the other players for a specific card to form a pair.

Press and twist the dinosaur back into the crate and keep taking turns. Nobody knows which slot will make him pop next – it's different every time! Keep playing in rounds. The last surviving explorer left behind wins the game!
