A full lesson for KS2 exploring the importance of the River Nile to the Ancient Egyptian civilisation. The resource includes a detailed lesson plan, Powerpoint and pupil resource sheets.

Why was Ancient Egypt the ‘Gift of the Nile’?
In this lesson, pupils will play a map-work game in pairs to help them to investigate the basic geography of Ancient Egypt. Then they will learn about the important natural resources provided by the River Nile and its role in farming. Pupils will use their new knowledge to create an information poster about the Nile and an optional extension activity will challenge pupils to explore modern-day maps of Egypt to make comparisons.

Objectives:

  • To understand the importance of the River Nile in Ancient Egypt
  • To give examples of the natural resources

The lesson plan includes differentiation ideas to adapt the activities for the needs of your class.
