Pyramids!: 50 Hands-On Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt (Kaleidoscope Kids Book)

Join kid-experts Avery Hart and Paul Mantell on a journey back in time, where today's kids actively experience the wonders of an ancient society that in many ways was more modern than today.-- Don't just read about it -- Do It! Kids will become part of ancient Egypt, playing Senat (a game like checkers), dressing in a nemes (headdress) and male kilt, eating Egyptian honey-barley flatbread, writing in hieroglyphics, dancing like an Egyptian, building a living model of the Nile valley.-- Discover Pyramid Power! Get to know the wonders of the pyramids by exploring King Tut's tomb, making a pyramid-building sledge, creating pyramids of cardboard, clay, blocks, cans, and discovering the mysteries of mummies, the Sphinx, and a Soul House.-- How old is ancient? Get a handle on linear time by developing meaningful comparisons, using visualizations, creating time lines.Avery Hart is the author of 'Pyramids!: 50 Hands-On Activities to Experience Ancient Egypt (Kaleidoscope Kids Book)' with ISBN 9780606224581 and ISBN 0606224580.
