KS2 Ancient Egypt - Everyday Life at Home

Key Terms Bingo

Fun way to revise key terms or punctuate the topic.

Includes ten illustrated bingo cards and a QR code linking to a spinner which includes all the words used.

The cards will need printing.

I would recommend laminating a set; I have been using the same set for over a decade now. Whiteboard markers are the best for marking (if laminating).

Now and Then Comparison
Comparing everyday life in the 21st century and during the time of the Ancient Egyptians. Pupils draw or write in the ancient equivalent of six features of modern life. They will need to conduct some research - independent, pair, group - to find the answers.

Could be adapted so that pupils note down their initial ideas, conduct the research and then evaluate the difference between their expectations and reality.

Homes in Ancient Egypt
Picture clues for fourteen anagrams of different objects found in homes in Ancient Egypt.

Illustrated information sheet plus ten questions which follow Bloom’s taxonomy.

Playscript based upon preparing for a festival: 10 speaking roles and multiple non-speaking roles

grown to eat

grown for perfume
grown for dyes
