Trading Card Games
-
Trading card games allow kids to collect cards and battle one another with those cards through strategy and point-based games. Based on the television show "Dinosaur King," kids can collect and play the "Dinosaur King Trading Card Game." Kids collect cards and then battle one another to earn new cards in a game that involves rock-paper-scissors and adding points. The popular trading card game "Yu-Gi-Oh" also offers a deck of cards called "Dinosaurs Rage," with dinosaur monster cards that pack a bigger punch than a lot of other cards when playing the game.
Fact and Trivia Games
-
Fact and trivia games can help kids put their dinosaur knowledge to the test. The "World Almanac for Kids Puzzler Deck: Dinosaur Science" is designed to help first- and second-grade students answer brain-teasers and solve puzzles related to dinosaurs. Each card contains a different puzzle. The educational publisher Usborne offers "100 Dinosaurs to Spot," a set of dinosaur fact cards that can be used to play review and trivia games with kids. "Brainbox Discover Dinosaurs" is a game that provides concentration cards about dinosaurs and gives players 10 seconds to absorb as much information as possible from the card, then quizzes them on the information.

Traditional Games
-
Some companies have adapted traditional kids games to contain dinosaurs. "Dinosaur Cards (Games for Your Brain)" allows kids to play games such as "Go Fish," "Crazy Eights" and "Concentration" while learning about dinosaurs. Kids who enjoy playing bingo and like dinosaurs will enjoy playing "Magnetic Dinosaur Bingo." Instead of being played with numbers, the spinner and cards contain pictures of dinosaurs. Kids must create rows of four magnetic markers on their boards to win the game.
Other Games
-
Kids can play a variety of other games, including "Dinosaur Train Make a Match," based on the television show "Dinosaur Train." Much like "Concentration," players must find matches based on the characters from the show. "Dinosaurs Duel" has players pit their dinosaur cards against one another, much like a game of war.
