Royal jubilees, towering pyramids, face painting, and jewelry making? The sky's the limit when you spend the day in ancient Egypt! Picture this: You get out of bed and, as you go to brush your teeth, you suddenly realize that you've traveled back in time over 4,500 years to ancient Egypt. The sun is shining, the Nile River is almost flooding, and everywhere you look, humongous pyramids are being erected. You have a strong hunch that it's going to be a truly amazing day. You'll spend the day with a family in the land of Giza during the Fourth Dynasty and learn all about Egyptian culture with loads of exotic and fun-filled activities. Join ten-year-old Meryt as she practices playing the harp for the festival of Bastet, and make your own music with a string of menat rhythm beads. Be an apprentice scribe to the pyramid builders with Meryt's twelve-year-old brother, lpy, as you learn to count with hieroglyphs. Join the family for a round of Senet, a traditional Egyptian board game, using a board and game pieces you've made yourself. Then, before your day in Egypt is through, make a delicious feast fit for a pharaoh! Ages 8 to 12 Collect the whole Spend the Day series!

Tandem Library

This activity-based resource book is perfect for upper elementary and middle school teachers interested in creating a Social Studies or Language Arts unit on the Middle Ages. It is a valuable tool that can be used year after year. Its reproducible masters can be duplicated as often as needed, and its solid spiral binding and heavy paper make it a long-lasting addition to every teacher s bookshelf. This easy-to-use resource book is organized around a poster depicting four major population centers in the Middle Ages: the town, the castle, the monastery and the manor farm. A large, pullout poster is included, for your students to color and hang in the classroom, or to enlarge further with a copier and use for several suggested learning activities. What s more, a second copy of the poster is bound in the book and keyed to the descriptive text. No other information about this period of history is needed. Historic facts and examples are provided so classes can discuss matters of continuing importance and interest in the social studies. Stories and poems from the period are presented in modern English and may serve as inspiration for creative language exercises. A blank map is shown, and then filled in with the routes and destinations of various travelers; merchants, Crusaders, pilgrims, and students. Medieval paintings, stained glass, and sculpture are displayed with suggestions for art activities. Words and music for songs and group dances are also included. 13 Stimulating Chapters: * Higgensworld: A Picture of the Medieval World with Keyed Poster * The Middle Ages: Historic View * The Town: Craftsmen &amp; Guilds * The Castle: Lords &amp; Ladies, Knights &amp; Chivalry * Heraldry &amp; Coats of Arms * The Monastery: Monks &amp; Nuns * The Manor: Farming, Food &amp; Feasting * Making Costumes and Armor * Music &amp; Dance * Artists &amp; Art * Literature * A Medieval Festival * Timeline, Activities &amp; Reading List Over 50 Engrossing Reproducible Illustrations and Activities, Including: * Costume Patterns * People &amp; Possessions * Helmet &amp; Breastplate Pattern * Shield Pattern * Travelers &amp; Destination Map * Heraldic Coats of Arms * Food Lists &amp; Recipes * Craftsmen s Guild Signs * Grocery Bag Castle Designs * Mazes and Timelines * Word Searches
