A Virtual Visit To An Egyptian Tomb For Key Stage 2 Children
During Key Stage 2, pupils learn about an ancient civilisation as part of the National Curriculum breadth of study in History. Often, Ancient Egypt is a popular choice with teachers and children. This website provides interactive activities that can be used to support teaching and learning about Egypt and Ancient Egypt.
There is an activity where Egypt must be located in relation to the UK. Once a tomb is located on a map, it is possible to take a tour through it. These involve looking at images of artefacts and following onscreen instructions to complete a related challenge. The text also provides simple factual information about aspects of Ancient Egypt.
This resource would be ideal for engaging children in independent study during a topic.
There are further games on the website related to hieroglyphs, the Egyptian landscape, clothing and craftsmen. These can be useful in providing engaging activities that are fun and educational at the same time.
