If you’re studying Ancient Sumer, then your students will love these hands-on activities which get them making art, crafts, and writing from the earliest civilisations!

This pack has lots of activities you can pick and choose from, that will give students an insight into the crafts and technology that the first civilisations in Mesopotamia used.

Students can:

  • explore cuneiform script with two different scripts to try
  • practice weaving
  • make a woven basket
  • make a paper model of the Ishtar Gate
  • make a clay bowl
  • make a clay tablet and write cuneiform on it
  • make a paper ziggurat model (differentiated with two options)

The pack includes student hand-out instructions and a PDF slideshow version of the instructions, plus templates to make the Ishtar Gate and ziggurat.

You will need:

  • wool
  • thick card (for weaving)
  • paper cups
  • air-drying clay
  • paint (optional)
  • scissors, glue sticks, coloring pencils
  • wooden skewers
