Game Mission: The Temple of Anubis has long been the stuff of myth and legend among Egyptologists and explorers for centuries, but it has just been discovered! You must descend into the depths of the cave and find the Golden Ankh of life. Attempting to remove the Ankh from the temple will not be easy. You will try to collect six objects in order to escape back from the underworld. You will need to prove you are worthy of this treasure, or you will face the same doomed fate as other souls before you! Class Structure: Learners will work in small groups as junior archaeologists. Using a game guide they will work to solve a series of Egyptian themed challenges including anagrams, crosswords, and other interactive puzzles. Each puzzle will touch on topics from the ancient world including ancient hieroglyphics, Egyptian geography, Egyptian gods and goddesses, as well as basic math skills and reading comprehension. Previous knowledge of the topics is not required, but this class would work well with African geography, Egyptology, and world history units.
Learning Goals
Students will gain a basic understanding of Ancient Egypt, improve on their understanding of Egyptian geography, Egyptian gods and goddesses. Team building, reading comprehension, basic math skills and problem solving will be highlighted as well.
Other Details
Parental Guidance

COPPA Policy for Thinklink and Youtube:
There are video clips embedded in the Google Forms Quiz from Youtube. Safety and privacy are our top priorities. Learners under 13 will need to have Parental Consent when accessing those links on Youtube to comply with COPPA.
Students will be provided with a direct code to access the game link, and will bypass any registration or sign-ins for Thinklink as I have a Professional Teacher License through the service to use the platform as a teaching tool. Therefore, learners will not need to provide any information or sign up for the platform themselves. In fact, students will be provided with a link that restricts them from having to share any personal information or sign in, as the game will appear on their screen without an interface. However, parental consent will be required to comply with COPPA. As per the terms of usage, all students accessing the Service are subject to consent provided via their educator or educational institution, as allowed under COPPA, and will require the use of a unique invitation code supplied by their instructor or education institution in order to create an account or access the platform. Any use or access to the Service by anyone under 13 without Consent, is strictly prohibited and in violation of this Agreement.
Supply List
A game guide will be provided in class. There is a design challenge for students to design their own sarcophagus, so colored pencils/markers/crayons would be useful.
