Write Your Name in Hieroglyphs Egyptian Cartouche

Created by
Creative Artz
All-in-one, easy printable lesson. I've used this with grades K-5th, but obviously you have to read the text aloud to the younger kiddos and provide a little extra assistance if they don't know the letters of their names yet. Makes an excellent substitute lesson! You just need something to write and color with.

This timeline gives an overall picture of the eras and ages of history with key events and people to help give students (and teachers) some perspective and context. #history #timeline #homeschoolhistory

Simple, all-in-one printable activity that teaches your students how to draw some of the most well known Egyptian symbols and the meaning behind them! If you're an art teacher like me, you might want to follow it up the way that I have and have them trace their final design onto styrofoam printing plates for an easy printmaking project (I like to use gold printing ink on black paper). This works with the other cartouche printable I have available as well (with the hieroglyphic alphabet). I find

Quick Note Check Worksheet for Lesson on Maya, Aztec, and Olmec.

This is just a quick one off worksheet to check students' understanding when learning about the Maya, Aztec, and Olmec. You could expand on the question and ask them to write a paragraph, explaining how they know they are correct, or quoting from their notes or your lesson material. I like to use it in the middle of the lesson, to break up some of the front loading and make sure they are taking good notes and paying attention. It could also be modified and used in collaboration by having a shoul

Wonderful for increasing those scissor skills with younger kids.

Ancient history activities to try

Here are a few examples of the different types of activities and lessons you can find on TPT to help teach students about ancient history:

Map Making

With map-making activities you can not only teach students about ancient civilizations, but also incorporate geography into your lessons. As they label and color maps, students can learn about important places in ancient civilizations, chart trade routes, and learn how empires expanded (and fell) over time.

Primary Source Analysis

One of the best ways to learn about ancient civilizations is through the artifacts and writings of people from that particular period of time. Encourage students to analyze primary sources to gain a deeper understanding about bygone eras of history. For instance, you can have students read accounts of the destruction of Pompeii and discuss it as a class.

Centers & Stations

Through the use of centers, students can collaborate and discuss topics and content they examine for each era in history. For example, you can have students navigate through four or five different centers or stations to help them learn about different aspects of Ancient Chinese culture, like literature, geography, government, and major historical events or achievements.

By making ancient history come to life through a variety of interactive and immersive activities, teachers can help students develop a deeper appreciation for the subject.
