This year we are using The Story of the World Ancient times with the kids for History. We are moving slowly through the book, and working on some of the activities. The first activity we did came from Chapter 2.
What we learned:
- About the first Egyptians.
- That Egypt is in Africa
- That the Nile river flows from the Mediterranean Sea through Egypt.
- That the Nile river floods every year
- That the farmers were prepared for the floods and used it to their advantage
- Were Africa, The Mediterranean Sea, and the Nile River were on the map
- Osiris and Set
- That the Egyptians beloved in lot’s of different god’s, but we serve the only true God
- What Myth is
Our activities:
The kids did a bit of geography by finding, Africa, the Mediterranean Sea, and the Nile river on the map.
Using the instructions in The Story of the World Ancient Times activity guide, we made this model of the Nile river.
During the time that the Nile flooded the Egyptians went to higher ground.
