Where’s the Dragon Lair?

The first step toward interacting with a dragon is to find one. Dragons tend to be reclusive, so this can be challenging. Draw a map of your home and the streets and areas around it. Mark any places that might conceal a dragon lair.

Be sure to mark any:

Areas with high grass Castles Caves Hillsides Hollow trees Icebergs Ponds Rocky areas Rooftops Sand dunes Wells

Remember, if you find a dragon, keep its lair a secret from anyone who might wish it harm! Dragonology and its logo are trademarks of The Templar Company Ltd.

Spot the Dinosaur

Imagine that you have landed on a remote island off the coast of South America where colonies of prehistoric beasts still roam. Your expedition team comes across a watering hole, and all of a sudden you see a living, breathing dinosaur! Is it a large diplodocus? Or an armored triceratops? Maybe even the king of all dinosaurs, the fearsome Tyrannosaurus rex?

On this page of your observation journal, identify the species of dinosaur and draw it.

Remember, there could be a predator nearby, so don’t get too close! Dinosaurology, Dragonology, and the Dragonology logo are trademarks of The Templar Company Ltd.
