The 15 October 2003 [Seminary-Notes] Newsletter shared a fun and easy-to-use Egyptian-like cartouche creator program. You can download a free copy here.

Here are two additional fun ways to bring ancient Egypt into your classroom this year by using the cartouche software program...

1) Create a Cartouche Bookmark for each of your students (with their name in the cartouche).

The picture above shows the various formats that you can use. The photo below shows sample bookmarks (printed on cardstock, cut and covered with contact paper).

2) Create a Cartouche Activity.

Make a cartouche for each of your students and place them in a word processing file. (You can probably place about 10 cartouches on one page.) Print a copy of the cartouche page(s) for each student.

Invite students to "translate" the cartouches. You may wish to provide the answer for one name (to help get your students started "translating").

A sample classroom activity (for 16 students and one teacher) is found here. The last three cartouches spell out "Rolling Valley Ward."

This file was printed to create the bookmarks (discussed above).
