Ancient Egypt Scavenger Hunt (No Prep!)

By Miss Yous Clues and Resources

Introduce your students to the thrilling no prep Ancient Egyptian Scavenger Hunt! This engaging and interactive activity puts students in the shoes of a detective trying to find a long lost burial site of an unknown pharaoh who was said to have more riches than even King Tutankhamun.

Each student, or group of students, will receive 10 reading task cards related to Ancient Egypt, how the Egyptians modified their environment, how they used their local resources, the role of artifacts and archaeological features. The task is not only to read the cards but to solve 10 questions—the catch is that the answer to each question is found on a different card, encouraging students to read all the information thoroughly.

How It Works:

  • Students will need to determine the code word for each card by answering the fill-in-the-blank questions.
  • Once all the code words have been found, students must unscramble the letters from each code word to discover the final mystery word.
  • In addition, they will collect clues to uncover a 4-digit code, which will help them successfully complete their journey.

Failing to unscramble the mystery word or crack the 4-digit code will result in the tomb remaining sealed forever, and the expedition will be lost to the sands of time. However, completing the mission means students will have made one of the greatest discoveries in history, uncovering the forgotten pharaoh’s solid gold burial site, filled with unimaginable riches, artifacts, and secrets of Ancient Egypt!

What Makes This Activity Perfect for Your Classroom:

  • Engaging and Educational: Your students will be excited to play the role of an explorer while learning about Ancient Egypt and how the Egyptians used/modified their environment.
  • Critical Thinking Skills: By having to cross-reference information from multiple task cards, students practice comprehension, critical thinking, and attention to detail.
  • No-Prep Needed: Simply print the task cards and hand them out to your students! It’s ready to go with minimal prep.
  • Flexible Usage: This scavenger hunt can be used independently, as a group activity, or even as a fast-finisher task. It works perfectly as a history lesson, or as a fun, educational activity!

Ideal for Different Learning Styles

Whether done individually or in groups, this scavenger hunt provides the perfect opportunity for students to collaborate and share ideas as they solve the puzzles. If students are working independently, it gives them a chance to practice self-paced learning while still engaging with the history of Ancient Egypt.

Perfect for History Lessons or Fun Themed Activities This activity fits seamlessly into your classroom’s history curriculum. It’s a perfect way to introduce and reinforce learning about Ancient Egypt.

This Ancient Egypt Scavenger Hunt is not only a fun, no-prep classroom activity, but it also ensures that students gain a deeper understanding of history while developing important reading and comprehension skills. Bring the excitement of the search for the Ancient Egyptian burial site into your classroom with this adventure-packed scavenger hunt.

FRENCH | NOVEL STUDY/ÉTUDE DE ROMAN | N'IMPORTE QUEL ROMAN | CHOICE BOARD |

By French Made Fun!

Cette ressource propose 11 projets (chacun avec sa propre rubrique) pour une évaluation formative après la lecture d'un roman. Je les utilise avec mes élèves après un club de lecture ou après une lecture indépendante de leur choix.

Vous pouvez choisir de faire travailler tous les élèves sur le même projet, ou leur donner un élément de choix et leur faire choisir leur propre activité, en fonction de leurs intérêts, de leurs forces et de leurs objectifs.

Ces projets offrent aux élèves des occasions de faire preuve de créativité, d'ingéniosité et d'explorer leurs romans sous un angle différent.

Les options de projet dans cette ressource incluent :

  • « Full textos ! » (Un projet créatif qui amène les élèves à réfléchir profondément sur les personnages, la personnalité et les événements de leur roman en créant des conversations texto entre les personnages du roman.)
  • « Une BD brillante » (Projet créatif où les élèves créent une bande dessinée à partir des événements de leur roman, dans l'ordre chronologique.)
  • « L'actualité du roman » (Un projet créatif dans lequel des étudiants se font passer pour un journaliste et créent un journal basé sur des événements et des personnages de leur roman.)
  • « Cartographie-le ! » (Un projet créatif dans lequel les élèves cartographient le cadre de leur roman et présentent des événements clés.)
  • « L'histoire ne s'arrête pas là ! » (Un projet d'écriture créative qui donnera aux élèves la possibilité d'écrire une suite ou un dernier chapitre manquant à leur roman.)
  • « Affiche de film » (Un projet créatif qui amènera vos élèves à penser cinématographiquement à leur roman. Ils choisiront des acteurs et créeront une affiche de film basée sur leur roman.)
  • « La playlist de mon roman » (Un projet musical créatif qui amènera les élèves à créer une bande originale de leur roman en choisissant et en analysant avec soin des chansons qui correspondent au thème et aux événements de leur roman.)
  • « Chronologie captivante » (Un projet créatif qui amènera les élèves à construire une chronologie de leur roman - du début à la fin - présentant les événements clés, les problèmes et les résolutions.)
  • « Cher Journal ... »(Un projet d'écriture créative qui amènera les élèves à écrire une série d'entrées de journal du point de vue d'un personnage principal de leur roman.)
  • « Art nouveau »(Un projet artistique qui permet la créativité artistique et la liberté de mettre en valeur des thèmes, des personnages et des événements par le biais de l'art.)
  • « L'habit ne fait pas le moine ! » (Un projet créatif qui permettra aux élèves de recréer la couverture et la quatrième de la couverture de leur roman. Les élèves compareront l'original avec le leur et analyseront leurs choix et modifications personnels.)
