Design your very own scroll for a family member, inspired by the artwork and styles of Ancient Egypt.

You could include:

• Hieroglyph-style writing
• Pictures of gods, pharaohs, animals, or family members drawn in an Egyptian style
• Borders or patterns seen in Egyptian art
• A message or story for your chosen family member

You can use any art materials you have at home, such as:

Paper, pencils, pens, or crayons, tea or coffee for “aging” the paper, paints, glue or tape.

Make Your Own “Papyrus” Paper!

If you’d like to try something extra, you can make your own pretend papyrus.

Here’s how:

1. Tear paper (kitchen roll, newspaper, or scrap paper) into strips.
2. Lay strips in one direction, then add a second layer crossing over the first.
3. Brush with watered-down glue.
4. Press it flat and leave it to dry.
5. Once dry, it can be used just like a scroll!

Create a fact file about the different Egyptian gods or goddesses

Take part in a Garden Bird Watch.

Spend a little time looking out into your garden, yard, or local outdoor space and record any different birds you see. You could make a simple list, draw the birds you spot, or even tally how many times each type of bird appears. This activity encourages you to observe nature closely and helps build your understanding of local wildlife. Have fun bird watching!

Design your own rugby game. 

Your game should help players develop their throwing and catching skills, and—just like in rugby—you should include rules that mean players can only pass the ball backwards or sideways, not forwards.

Your task could include:

• A name for your game
• A simple set of rules (how to play, how to score, how to win)
• A diagram showing how the game works (this could be the playing area, where players stand, how the ball moves, etc.)
• Instructions explaining what equipment is needed and how people should set up the game
• Safety ideas to make sure everyone can play sensibly

Be as creative as you like! You might change the size of the pitch, the number of players, or add fun challenges—just remember to keep the rugby passing rule!
