The Mini Golf Masters
Dinosaur Stories for Kids
Dorktales Podcast: Episode 127
Jonathan and Redge return to the land of dinosaurs to compete in the Mini Golf Masters with their Maiasaura friend, Minh. If they can win the Quotatious Period’s biggest golf tournament, the grand prize means Minh can be the first dinosaur to go to space camp. They drive and putt through a wild prehistoric course full of giant frog obstacles, sneaky Pterosaurs, and a twisting Brontosaur’s tail. But when an erupting volcano shakes up their final shot, everything changes, and a happy surprise shows that the ending can be even better than you imagined.

PARENTS, TEACHERS AND HOMESCHOOLERS: As Minh and his friends work together during a high-stakes mini golf tournament, they learn to adapt, support one another, and stay resilient when things don’t go as planned. The story reinforces that effort, collaboration, and a positive mindset are more important than winning, while also showing that unexpected opportunities can arise even after disappointment.
