This image is a template for a creative activity rather than a problem with a single correct answer. It provides the tools (the alphabet and the cartouche frame) for you to write your own name or word in hieroglyphs.
Here is how you can complete this task:
1.
Choose a Word: Pick your first name or a short word you want to write.
2.
Use the Key: Look at "The Hieroglyphic Alphabet" on the right side of the page. Find the symbol that matches each letter of your word.
* *Example:* If your name is
ANN, you would find:
*
A: The vulture bird.
*
N: The wavy water line.
*
N: The wavy water line again.
3.
Draw in the Cartouche: Draw those symbols inside the large oval shape (the cartouche) on the left. In ancient Egypt, a cartouche was used to surround the name of a king or queen to show it was important.
Since there is no specific word provided to solve for, you can use this sheet to write your own name!
Parent Tip: Review the logic above to help your child master the concept of printable hieroglyphic flashcards.
