Today, we learned about Ancient Egypt! As a pre-assignment, the kids were asked to see if they have ever visited Egypt before and/or knew any facts about it. They all shared some very interesting facts and stories! After, we learned about where Ancient Egypt was located, the climate there, and Nile River. Then, we discussed Pharaohs including some famous Pharaohs and the last and only female Pharaoh, Cleopatra VII. That led us to the next topic in hand, Pyramids. We learned about what Pyramids are, some famous pyramids, and how they are built. For some fun, we played a quiz that revealed what Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses. The kids then wanted to build their own pyramids in a similar situation to the original ancient Egyptians and were able to successfully build their own pyramid. With some extra time, we all played a quiz that revealed where we should travel based on various choices.
Here are the links we used:
