Build A Pyramid
Use various craft materials to build a model of one of Ancient Egypt’s Pyramids. Discuss how a model is a smaller version of a large structure.
Social Hierarchy
Ask students to recreate the social pyramid of Ancient Egypt. Who is at the top? Who is at the bottom? What role did each layer play in society?
Ancient Civilization Comparisons
Divide your class into smaller groups, with each group responsible for further researching how each ancient civilization has benefited the world. They need to bring props to show (photos, food, items that represents tools and discoveries by each group).
Ancient Games
Find games and sports that were played during the specific ancient civilizations, teach students, and then have them play this game or sport. Alternatively, students could create one.
Discussion Topic
After studying about a specific ancient civilization (Ancient Greece, Romans, Mayans, Egypt, etc. ), have a class discussion about what a day in the life of a person would be like.
Archeology
Contact your local college or university to see if they have an archaeology program. If so, see if your class can visit them and learn what has been discovered by structures and buildings left behind.
Art
Draw a scene from the video you just watched.
Write Like an Egyptian!
Show students examples of Egyptian hieroglyphics, explaining that hieroglyphics were a mode of writing. Ask students to create their own system of symbols, requiring them to compile a vocabulary of at least five words (for example, names of animals, etc).
Ancient Egyptian Artifacts
Go to the Smithsonian website (maybe also the Louvre?) to show pictures of Ancient Egyptian artifacts, pyramids, etc.
Gods and Goddesses
Have students make a list of the gods and goddesses mentioned in the video. List the areas of importance for each deity. Students can also research gods and goddesses that were not mentioned in the video, in order to add to the list.
Choose a God/Goddess
Study the different Egyptian Gods and Goddesses. Have each student choose one and either dress like one, create a sculpture, or paint a picture of the God or Goddess that was chosen. They can explain what they learned and why they chose that specific God or Goddess.
7 Wonders of the Ancient World
Have students research the 7 Wonders of the Ancient World.
Reading Suggestion
Have students read The Golden Goblet by Eloise Jarvis McGraw. This book will provide an insight of what it would be like for a kid to live during Ancient Egyptian times.
The Pharaoh's Crowns
Research the different Royal Crowns that an Egyptian Pharaoh may have worn and then have students make one that they can wear.
Pyramid Comparisons
