Ancient Egypt has got to be one of the most interesting topic your kids will learn about. From the process of mummification to the way the Egyptians used to write in hieroglyphics, your students will be focused and you will have fun teaching it too! I compiled my favorite activities and resources you will find helpful.
1. Mummy Sequencing Puzzles
Students usually love puzzles which is why this is one of my favorite activities. They will arrange the puzzle pieces in order of how to make a mummy. The finished product turns out pretty cool to look at.
