  • are easy to remember
  • are words applicable to everyday life
  • can be used in every classroom
  • are given to you in their original spelling and phonetic spelling.

Bushcraft Battle Royale in Egypt: Geography, Survival, and Wildlife of the Egyptian Wilderness

By The Academic Architect

This product includes a reading passage detailing how someone could use bushcraft techniques to survive in the Egyptian Wilderness. Use the reading and the Battle Royale style activity to teach about Bushcraft and Primitive Survival Techniques while reinforcing the geography of Egypt. Any fan of fortnite or other Battle Royale style video games will love this assignment! But even the students who don't play fortnite will enjoy making their battle royale survival plan. If you are looking for a more general bushcraft assignment, check out this assignment.

I like to use this assignment as a follow-up to my lesson on the Geography of Egypt. I’ve found that the creativity that students use to design their own survival kit helps to anchor knowledge of the geography and animals of Egypt. One thing to be aware of is that your students will likely discuss hunting weapons, including firearms. If you or your school are sensitive to this kind of thing, make sure to set parameters beforehand. An easy way to do this is by telling students that they can only bring ancient weapons - or if they want a real challenge, they must make their own hunting weapons using tools and items in the natural world. I also allow my students to research other wildlife and plant life as they prepare their supply list, and we discuss ethical hunting practices before they begin.

If you want to add more time and rigor to this assignment, you can allow students to work on their checklists in pairs and set a weight limit on materials (I normally set a limit of 35 pounds for their 12 items). Then, have students research name brand items on their iPads to find their exact weight. Students can write the weight of each individual item in the circular bullet point to make sure they don’t go over the limit. This typically keeps students engaged for the entire class period. You can try setting a budget as well but this can sometimes make the assignment frustratingly difficult for some students. It all depends on the class, which is why these criteria are optional. I also like to have students share their survival kit at the end of class and vote on the person that they think would survive the longest.
