Egypt Project ​Xtras & Souvenirs

Picture
Just as you would on any other vacation, you may want to pick up a few souvenirs on your Gift of the Nile Tour. Souvenirs are keepsakes that remind you of where you've been. The souvenirs that you purchase with your Crocodile Coins are sure to do the same.

To create a lasting  memory, you should , again, combine your research power with your creativity. You are welcome to use your Crocodile Coins to purchase one of the following souvenirs. However, you are also free to scour the interweb for ideas. Though some of the activities are geared toward younger kids, the following links may provide inspiration:

http://www.abookintime.com/crafts/projectsancientegypt.html
http://timetravellerkids.co.uk/fun-stuff/free-projects/ancient-egyptian-projects/


Remember, your goal is to spend all of your Caravan Coins. In order to spend the most, you want to pay top price. That means you want to purchase the highest quality souvenir. That means you want to perform the highest quality research and create the highest quality craft.

If you don't see something above, consider the following:

Egyptian God and Goddess Trading Cards 
Create a pack of gods & goddesses trading cards. On one side of the card draw a picture of the god or goddess. On the other side, put the god or goddesses' vital statistics - powers, responsibilities, appearance, place in mythology... You may create your cards using a program like Google Drawing or hand make them and take pictures to load to your  project travel blog.

Make a Mummy's Case
Research Link: http://discoveringegypt.com/egyptian-mummification/


​To make your mummy case, use 
salt dough to mold your mummy rather than modeling clay. Instead of plaster, I have white duct tape in the classroom to use for the wrap.

Think about making some adaptations and studying and recreating a mummy from another place.

Pictures of Yourself and/or Your Traveling Companions
If you are good with a camera and some photo editing software, take a picture of you dressed like an Egyptian in front of an Egyptian temple or monument. Have fun!
