Lesson Introduction: Journey to Ancient Egypt

Hook: The Mysterious Message

Introduction to the Topic

Imagine opening a treasure chest filled with ancient scrolls covered in strange writing. What if one of those scrolls contained a message from a pharaoh from thousands of years ago? Today, we’re going to embark on a journey to a time long ago—where the pyramids touched the sky and the Nile River brought life to the desert!

Story Starter

Gather around, young explorers! I have a magical story to kick off our adventure. Once upon a time, there was a brave girl named Amina who lived in Ancient Egypt. One sunny morning, she discovered a hidden cave near the Nile River. Inside the cave, she found a sparkling golden amulet and an ancient scroll. The scroll had the following words:

"To find the treasure of knowledge, follow the river of dreams, where pharaohs sleep and secrets gleam."

What do you think Amina will do next? Where do you think the river of dreams is?
