Travel the World Without Ever Leaving the Classroom!

Egypt

Here’s a list of the resources we used, videos we watched, and activities we did in our study of Egypt.

Travel Book Pages

Every time we begin our “travels” to a new country, we always do the same 5 things:

1) Find the flag sticker for the country we are going to travel to, and stick it in our Pretend Passports.

2) Set up a pretend airplane and sing our “All Around the World” song as we pretend to fly to our destination.

3) Assemble our first travel book page, with the name of the country, the flag, country outline, and the pictures of people dressed in traditional costume.

>> Egypt Travel Page 01 - Country Profile Page

4) Have a fun little country themed scavenger hunt! (featured below)

5) Assemble our second travel page book. Although, this page we usually do on our LAST day of learning about the country, since the kids like to pretend that they took all these pictures while they were visiting the country, so this second page is a place for them to “scrapbook” their memories of what they did on their adventure.

The Prince of Egypt (Dream Works)

The Prince of Egypt. Rated PG (parental guidance suggested). This classic movie tells the story of Moses in a very impactful way, despite the artistic license taken. I would recommend skipping a few parts, if watching with younger children, but for the most part it is a story that can be enjoyed by people of all ages.
