We also create an Adobe Spark video to explain the way the Egyptians made their mummies. Extra discussion prompts: What foods to we preserve? How and why do we preserve them? How is this similar to the process of mummification?

For example, a word cut in half, a word and definition, a word and picture, a verb and its past tense form, synonyms or even a maths calculation and answer. There are so many different possibilities! It’s also good point for introducing locational memory strategies and mnemonics.

There are two templates included: The first has 12 numbered boxes with text boxes behind each. This allows you to write in your own questions. If the individual/team answers the question correctly, then part of the picture can be revealed for them to have a guess at what it is. The second template has 36 tiles but no question boxes underneath. It can be used as a reward system for answering verbal questions.

The system is set up for four teams or individuals. Each has seven lives or points to be knocked off before they are out of the game.

All of the content is based on the unit and it makes for a good team or individual quiz to help assess ad review at the end.
