What do all of those names have in common?
They were all pharaohs of Ancient Egypt.
I’m sure you know that many children find the study of Ancient Egypt fascinating. They love the names of the pharaohs, the ancient structures that they built, the mummification process, and the hieroglyphs that were written.
Fortunately, if you want to teach your children about Ancient Egypt, there are plenty of websites that offer valuable information, activities and printables that you can use. You’ll find a list of these sites below.
