Picture Writing
The ancient Egyptians used
beautiful writing called
“hieroglyphics,” made up of 24
basic pictures used to spell out
words. There were also pictures
to show who or what was being
written about, and other pictures
to describe actions. Altogether,
START
there were more than 700 different
pictures and symbols! Egyptians
were pretty flexible about their
writing—hieroglyphics can be
read from left to right (like our lan
guage) or from right to left. How
do you know which way to read?
You look at which way the animal
characters are facing. If their noses
point to the left, you read from left
to right. It’s like watching a parade!
Keep track of the hieroglyph

ics you pass from START to
END. Copy each one into the
blank space provided. When
you’re finished, see which
pharaoh’s name you have
END
spelled.
Draw the hieroglyphics from left to right.
That’s
A-Maze-Ing!
No one uses hieroglyphics today,
but there are plenty of examples
left in the tombs and temples.
Even ancient grocery lists and
pages of math homework have Hatshepsut Tutankhamun Ramses II
been found!

Ride the Bus
Look carefully at these two buses and see if you can find the hidden pencil, snail,
capital letter E, lightning bolt, umbrella, and book.
EXTRA FUN: See if you

can find four other things
that are different between
the bus on the top and the
bus on the bottom.

one black and one white pebble into his purse. If Ruby picks a black pebble, they
will marry. If she picks a white one, the prince will have to go home alone.
As the prince went out to the garden, Ruby followed him and saw him put two black pebbles

waxes are melted in a huge pot. Workers then add colored powders to make thou-

slowly digested. Use a dark color to fill in the shapes that have the letters F-E-E-D
M-E. The leftover white shapes will show what kind of predatory plant I am.

Awfully Ancient
For more than 3,000 years humanity has been plagued by an infectious disease
called “leprosy” which attacks the nerves of the hands, feet, and face. Doctors
only found a way to treat it about 50 years ago. However, if left untreated, lep-
rosy can have some awful results!

remaining letters will spell out the answers.

Ruby can take out one pebble and “accidentally”
drop it into the river. Then, she’ll insist that the
pebble was white. Since the other pebble in the
purse is black, everyone has to assume that she
dropped the white pebble—and she won’t have to
