Give me 3 - Ancient Egypt
History Resource Description
The "Give me 3!" activity is an engaging educational exercise aimed at encouraging students to recall and list facts about various aspects of Ancient Egypt. Participants can earn two points for each correct fact they provide within a 15-minute timeframe, and in this particular task, spelling accuracy is not a priority, allowing children to focus on demonstrating their knowledge without the pressure of orthographic precision. The challenge is divided into three distinct categories, each requiring three facts.
For the first category, students are asked to list three facts about Pharaohs, the rulers of Ancient Egypt who were considered to be both divine deities and mortal leaders. The second category delves into the rich mythology of Ancient Egypt, prompting learners to provide three facts about the pantheon of Ancient Egyptian Gods, each with unique roles and stories. The third category focuses on the iconic pyramids, encouraging students to share three facts about these architectural wonders, which served as monumental tombs for Pharaohs and are a testament to the advanced engineering skills of the Egyptians. Additionally, the activity may include a discussion on why the Ancient Egyptian civilisation was considered ahead of its time, exploring various aspects such as their innovations in writing, medicine, and governance.
