Ancient Egypt Nomenclature and Description Cards

Elementary learners are often reading well and are looking to understand big concepts.

These Ancient Egypt vocabulary nomenclature and description cards are perfect for this age group.

I decided to pair them with our Ancient Egypt Safari Ltd Toob figures to add a little extra fun.

In this activity children will match up picture and word cards to definitions and word strips.

If using the figures, children can also match them up to images and definitions.

Ancient Egypt Vocabulary First Letter Sound Clip Cards

One way to learn vocabulary words is to practice letter sound work.

In the elementary classroom this includes the study of phonograms.

When completing this activity children choose the first letter sound/combination for each word and mark their answer using the glass beads provided.

A set of control cards are provided for children to check their answers.

Ancient Egypt Vocabulary Writing Strips

No matter what group of children I'm teaching, whether it's my own or co-op friends, there's always one that just loves to write.

This activity is designed for this type of child.

Writing practice can be so helpful to children, helping them remember vocabulary words.

This activity can also provide a spelling challenge for kids who are up for it.

I have included a set of dotted line writing strips for tracing in case you have a child who isn't quite ready to write on their own.

Ancient Egypt Hieroglyphs Number Writing Activity

Hieroglyphs from Ancient Egypt are so much fun to learn about.

This activity is for the child who wants to attempt drawing hieroglyphs on their own.

Children can draw one symbol or put them together to make bigger numbers.

I love how this activity provides opportunities to become as small or big as the child wants it to be.

Ancient Egypt Hieroglyphs Number Clip Cards

Elementary students tend to love a challenge and prefer big work.

This is a hieroglyph decoding activity that helps children learn numbers and place values in the millions.

Children use the control provided to decode the hieroglyph numbers and mark the answer on the space provided.

What a fun way to learn about big numbers!

Ancient Egypt Geography Nomenclature and Description Cards

It's one thing to understand the culture of Ancient Egypt, but another to understand geography.

This activity provides nomenclature and description cards describing what Ancient Egypt looked like and where it was located.

These cards can be used as nomenclature cards.

We are using them in a match up activity.

Ancient Egyptian Gods and Goddesses Who Am I? Cards

Ancient Egyptian gods and goddesses are quite fascinating and such a blast to learn about.

The task of learning about them can become even more fun when using Who Am I? cards.

A child reads the clues one by one until she knows which god of goddess is being described and then matches the clues with the picture card.

The last clue on every clue card is a description that can be found in the picture, which provides an excellent control.

Ancient Egypt Periods of History Sorting Activity

The history of Ancient Egypt is divided into multiple periods of time.

This activity introduces each time period with a picture and description card.

Then, for each time period there are cards to sort that represent what life was like during that time.

I have found this activity to be a fabulous way to sequence time and understand the progress that was made as Ancient Egypt continued to grow.

The images are absolutely gorgeous in this activity, which makes it very enjoyable for children.
