Thinking about some Halloween costume ideas? Consider dressing like ancient Egyptian royalty! People in power often have a special style of dress that sets them apart from the crowd. Students will look closely at artifacts from ancient Egypt to learn more about the clothing and adornment worn by pharaohs and elite people. They will discover the meanings and messages conveyed by certain clothing or adornments and then design fashion worthy of a ruler!

Recommended Materials: Blank sheet of paper, a writing utensil, and coloring materials.
