Ancient Egyptian Challenge

Enter the mysterious tomb of King Mentuhotep in our exciting KS2 Ancient Egypt workshop!

Using physical drama and movement, you will become the landscape of Ancient Egypt and recreate the River Nile. Then, you’ll take a journey into the underworld with The Afterlife Challenge.

Can you discover…

What an Ancient Egyptian embalmer did when a person died?

Who or what guarded the gates to the underworld?

What is written in the book of the dead?

In this interactive drama workshop, find clues, tackle puzzles, and examine artefacts to become keen archeologists. And unravel the secrets of Ancient Egypt in our Ancient Egyptian Challenge workshop.

Will you lift the curse, impress King Mentuhotep, and escape the tomb unscathed in this KS2 Ancient Egypt workshop?

This was pitched perfectly for the age of the children. They responded with so much enjoyment. Just perfect. The facilitator was fabulous in role as the archaeologist. She was well prepared and the tasks were pitched really well. I feel certain that we will invite Freshwater back next year!
