The Egypt Game
Final Project: Building an Egypt Game
Working in groups of 1, 2 or 3 you will design a game based on the novel The Egypt Game.
You may design a board game, a card game or a Jeopardy trivia game (I can provide you
will a PowerPoint template to create a realistic Jeopardy game). You will design both the
game and the box it will be stored in). If making a computer-based game you may design a
poster advertising your game instead of a box.
Your game must include:


AT LEAST 10 story details (your study questions are a good source for these)
AT LEAST 10 actual facts about ancient or modern Egypt (our Egypt bulletin board
and the Internet are good sources for these)
You must:

Decide who you will be working with (I will approve your groups)
Meet with your group and brainstorm ideas for the type of game you want to design
Make a list of everything you will need to create your game (a box to store your
game, poster or foam board, blank index cards, dice, construction paper, markers,
etc.)
Write step-by-step instructions and rules for playing the game (make sure all
spelling and grammar is correct!)
Build the game, pieces, box, etc.
Play your game before you bring it into class to make sure no changes are needed
Games are due in class on Tuesday June 14th. Each group will present its game to the class
(describe the game and explain its rules and how to play).
We will have an Egypt “Games Day” in class on Wednesday, June 15th.
