Skelly-Telly

Dinosaurs roamed Earth between x/y. Based on your observations, I think we should look for them at around z meters. The Skelly-Telly is a sophisticated device for looking under the ground without having to dig. I will give you directions on where to move for the best chance of finding a dinosaur skeleton.Let’s start now – Emily, you take the controls first. Follow the track indicated. You will see a trace of what is underground as you move.

JCB: Just collect bones

You now need to get those bones. In this game you will be instructed to go to parts of the skeleton we have found and dig them up. You have to add the digger attachment and work it like a spade. When you have filled a barrow, you need dump the soil. I will show you where when the time comes.

Well done, team. You’ve dug up all the bones. Let’s now see if we can piece them together to see what our creature might have looked like. Drag the bones from the trophy cabinet to the space on the left. If they are in the right place, they will “stick”
