Day 10 - Egypt

Our journey of Africa would be incomplete without visiting Egypt – the land of master architects, Sphinx and Pyramids. We all wore a head gear similar to the one wore by Cleopatra and got ourselves photographed. Making the mysterious Pyramids out of paper was the activity all the kids enjoyed. Learning hieroglyphics (ancient Egyptian pictorial alphabets) was fun and the children loved making ‘cartouches’ (name tags made for Pharaohs) using hieroglyphs.

The game of making ‘Mummies’ by covering one of the member of a team with a roll of tissue paper required smart strategies and patience which the children exhibited to our great and pleasant astonishment. The children were served with dates and lemonade to relish.
