As they find them, identify the pieces by name and have them match them to the key sheet. Share a fact from the printable card with them about that object. If there is not a card for that figurine, do research together to see what you can learn about it!
The Metropolitan Museum of Art features hundreds of ancient Egyptian artifacts. Review some of the interesting facts about the rolls cats played in ancient Egypt, then scroll down to the bottom of the page to listen to an audio description while you look at the picture. Activity 3: The pharaoh of king of Egypt was also considered a god. One of the most famous pharaohs of Egypt was Tutankhamun. Start by reading this to learn a bit about him. Older kids might enjoy this video , too.
The pyramids we learned about earlier this week were actually tombs where Egyptian kings and queens were buried when they died. The bodies were put into a special coffin called a sarcophagus. Before the bodies were buried, they were cleaned, perfumed, and wrapped with special bandages to preserve them.
This process is called mummification. No pun intended! Start by building the sarcophagus craft. This will be about 5 inches long when you complete it. Next make your mummy. Next, follow this tutorial to bandage it up. Once the mummy is dry, place it inside your sarcophagus to complete the activity. Tomorrow is your dig! First, take a terracotta pot and draw symbols on it using your stencil book.
Next, smash the pot into several pieces. Place the pieces into your prepared dig area. You can also include the figurines from the previous lessons in your dig. There are two different ways to approach the dig depending on your location and their interest level: in the ground or in a container. If you are unable to do an actual dig, try this virtual dig game instead. How do we know so much about ancient Egypt?
We will also learn about archeologists and what they find in the ground! Bring your child to your prepared dig area. Begin by gridding and labeling the dig area as shown in the tutorial you chose. Give your child tools, such as shovels or large spoons, paint brushes, and a kitchen sieve.
Instead of a dig, use this as an opportunity to create another sand sensory bin. You can either repeat the figurines activity from earlier this week, or let it be more of a free play activity. Keep records of your dig by drawing a grid on a paper and labeling it like you have labeled your dig area. Record what items were found in each square. Activity 2: Once you have completed your dig, collect all the artifacts your child found. Glue together the terracotta pot back together and talk about the symbols that are drawn on it.
Students will meet famous Egyptologist Howard Carter, whose journal entries will guide their inquiry. Learners unpack Ancient Egyptian symbolism, burial practices, and the purposes behind such elaborate rituals. Students research an Egyptian queen and design a tomb for her. Try out these lessons with your students and inspire a love for ancient history and civilizations!
