About this collection

About the Ancient Egypt word searches

Made for the Ancient Egypt Topic

Ancient Egypt is taught in primary and middle school almost everywhere, usually across several weeks. These puzzles are designed to follow that shape: one for each part of the topic, so a class can take a different grid each lesson rather than repeating the same fifteen words. If you’re covering the wider ancient world too, there are companion collections for world history and Greek mythology and the Greek gods.

What’s in Every Puzzle

Each download is a two-page PDF: the puzzle grid on page one, the completed answer key on page two. Fifteen words per grid, hidden in every direction. Nothing to sign up for and nothing to install โ€” click a card, print the page.

How to Use These Ancient Egypt Word Searches

Print a set at the start of a topic and hand one out per lesson, or use them as an early-finisher activity. They also make good preparation before a museum visit โ€” the gods, mummies and hieroglyphics grids cover most of what a child will see in an Egyptian gallery. Solvers from about eight up can manage them; the pharaohs and temples grids will stretch older students.
