Egyptian Lapbook




Here are the pictures from our Egyptian lapbook. The resources we used were Evan Moor's History Pockets: Ancient Civilizations, homeschool helper website and homeschool share just for some paper folding tricks to display our own ideas. Our spine books that I taught from was the Bible and Ancient History: Adam to Messiah from Heart of Wisdom.



The coloring pages shown above were found in the Evan Moor book. We primarily just used this book for the Egyptian coloring pages.

A detailed map of Ancient Egypt.


We talked about the different styles of pyramids found in Ancient Egypt with a picture and description of each.


Agriculture and the Nile was a big part of our study because the Egyptians were so dependent on the Nile.


What type of jobs were there in Ancient Egypt and what were the canopic jars used for.


Tools that were used during that period in Egypt.





Picture timeline of Joseph's life from the Bible. We did talk briefly about Moses but will focus more on him in our Tabernacle unit.




Dynasty timeline which we used as copy work. We spread it out over several days.







Quick narration on Cleopatra. When I say quick, it means it hasn't been edited.








Crossword on Joseph's life. I think I found this from the Calvary Chapel kids pages.



We did talk about the 10 plagues that the Egyptians faced. We learned that each plague was referencing to a different Egyptian God that was worshiped. God is simply amazing in how he was reaching out to both the Egyptian and the Hebrews that there is only ONE GOD. All these other gods do not measure up to ME! The Great I am!

I hope these give you some ideas and inspiration for your Ancient Egyptian studies.

Enjoy,

Amy
