Ancient Egyptian School Workshops
Explore Ancient Egypt!
Meet an Ancient Egyptian on an Ancient Egyptian WOW day with Marvellous History! Hands-on activities to excite children and enrich their learning about this ancient civilisation. Children can handle replica artifacts, learn all about many Egyptian Pharaohs and Gods, explore the kinds of things Ancient Egyptians might have been buried with and perhaps even make your own grave goods or Canopic jars. Activities, crafts, games and role-play will teach children about Egyptian daily life and death, architecture and culture, and the importance of the life-giving Nile.
The map on the right shows the area where we can offer Egyptian workshops at our standard rate. We can offer workshops outside this area at an additional cost.
Workshops can be run on specific topics or combined to cover the whole period. Topics covered could include:
- Gods, Kings and God-Kings
- Mummies, magic and myth
- Dusty deserts and raging rivers
- Temples & tombs
- Hieroglyphics, writing and the alphabet
- Daily life, clothing and crafts
- Bread and beer – Egyptian food and drink
- Egyptian legacy and influence on modern life
