Guess what Elmo's thinking about today? | Elmo opens the door to some CGI dinosaurs that run into his room. A video montage then plays of children with dinosaur toys and dinosaur art, as well as footage of animated dinosaurs. |
 |
Dorothy's Question | Dorothy has a sauropod decoration in her fishbowl while Elmo has a picture of a T-rex that he drew. She wants to know how you pretend to be a dinosaur. |
 |
The Noodle Family | Elmo attempts to talk with Mr. Noodle, but he at first cannot hear a word Elmo says because he's wearing earmuffs. Mr. Noodle then pretends to do ballet and act like a monkey before acting like a dinosaur, seeing his reflection in a mirror, and scaring himself! |
 |
Kids and Baby | Kids pretend to be different kinds of dinosaurs; Dorothy says they remind her of her Uncle Jaws. Elmo then asks a baby playing with a plush dinosaur. |
 |
Elmo's Question | Elmo asks the viewer to help him count the seven cartoon eggs hatching into baby stegosauruses. One more egg rolls in and hatches a baby tyrannosaurus rex, who scares the other babies away. |
 |
Quiz | Elmo asks yes/no questions about whether things are dinosaurs. Triceratops and brontosaurus are dinosaurs. A birthday cake isn't a dinosaur, but you can put dinosaur decorations on your cake. A group of other creatures are identified as dinosaurs. Snuffy isn't a dinosaur, but he pretends to be a "snuffleasaurus" (or a "dino-upagus") while holding a paper dinosaur head, using his snuffle as its neck. |

 |
Interview | Elmo talks to a brontosaurus that sticks his head through Elmo's window to chat. He talks about what he saw millions of years ago: rocks, trees to munch on, rivers to swim in, and other dinosaurs. "Dinosaurs were the people in my neighborhood, son!" |
 |
Tickle Me Land | Dorothy imagines Elmo as a toothy pterosaur from 150 million years ago, flying over various other dinosaurs and animals. |
 |

Notes[]
- In earlier script drafts, Mr. Noodle's brother, Mr. Noodle was originally intended to feature; the segment was being written before Michael Jeter's passing. Bill Irwin's Mr. Noodle would appear briefly, getting frightened away by his brother's dinosaur performance.[1]
