Ancient HIstory

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

July 6, 2023 | Leave a Comment
This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

In Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time, our favorite mouse finds himself smack dab in the middle of the Ice Age, Ancient Greece, and The Renaissance with the help of The Paw Pro Portal. Be sure to grab more Geronimo Stilton Books ideas and crafts on my page.

Geronimo shares a fun tale (or is it tail) which takes us through a very important period of ancient history.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

One thing I always enjoyed about the Geronimo Stilton books is that they introduce famous historical figures and places in a somewhat silly way, in graphic novel format.

We will focus on the second tale about Ancient Greece in the book The Race Against Time (Geronimo Stilton Journey Through Time #3.

The Race Against Time (Geronimo Stilton Journey Through Time #3

Kids really love the series. This story even gives an illustration of the Greek alphabet.

Your child will be introduced to Phidias the Greek Sculptor, playwright Sophocles, and historian Thucydides.

Too, they’ll learn about symposiums, Agora, the main square, and “visit” the Parthenon.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

Ancient Greece was a period of massive growth in the arts, wars, fashion and had busy ports, architecture, and astronomy.

The Ancient Greeks made their pots from clay.

Their pots were used for cooking, storing food to eat and drink from, as decoration, for perfumes and oils, and even urns to store the ashes of those cremated.

Sure, they were very useful, but they were also works of art.

Over time they went from simple decorations on their pottery to more intricate artwork.

For example, they used zig-zag patterns, gods and goddesses, chariots, buildings, people, and animals.

Pottery was a dark orange with black designs and later became reversed.

We are going to recreate our Greek pottery using a terra cotta pot and turn it into something that might be found as archaeologists dig through the sites of Ancient Greece.

Finally, look how to make this fun Ancient Greek pottery designs.

This art project is a great learning activity because first they are researching Greek designs and pottery, and then it leads neatly into a discussion about archeology.

You can even add a third component by having them attempt to put the pieces back together like a 3D puzzle at the end.

The broken pieces of pottery look great lying in a basket or loose on a shelf to create a fun-themed vignette in your homeschool space.

Before starting your project, examine pictures of Greek pottery that archeologists have uncovered to get an idea of the types of designs they used. Here is a great video on YouTube about Ancient Greek Pottery.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time – Recreate Greek Pottery Craft

You can purchase inexpensive terra cotta pots at home improvement stores, Walmart, or Dollar Tree even.

We found this one abandoned in the garden and loved the aging of it so we gave it a good cleaning and used it rather than a new one.

You will need:

  • Terra Cotta pot
  • Permanent marker
  • Pillowcase
  • Hammer
Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

First, let your child decorate their pot using a black permanent.

You can also paint it, but I find that a permanent marker flows so nicely on the pots and makes a lot less mess.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

You can draw on famous Greek landmarks.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

Add some Greek men and women.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

Or whatever you like. Let them take their time adding whatever they want, you can even make it comic style with large individual cells around it to tell a story.

Now at this point, you can leave your pot as it is or move on to the next step which is to create broken pot shards like archeologists often find.

Place the pot in an old pillowcase or wrap it in a towel.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

Give it a few good hits with a hammer, you may prefer to take this part outside. I like to try and leave some larger pieces, so the art is still identifiable.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

Carefully, remove the pieces from the pillowcase, the edges may be sharp.

Geronimo Stilton Race Against Time And Make Pottery Like Ancient Greeks

Use them to decorate a shelf or move onto another step and challenge your child to put the pieces back together if they can.

I would recommend only doing this with older children as any glue, but hot glue is going to take too long to dry.

Here we assembled a few of our pot shards back together with glue and tape.

7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

This post may contain affiliate links. For more information, please see my full disclosure policy.

I have 7 ways to play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids. I have more fun game ideas for teaching history on my history games page.

The beauty of an interest-based study is that it can grow from a simple interest and from one book or even a game into a full fun unit that is easily adapted to your child. 

This one stemmed from a simple game that was purchased a while back.

I wanted to pull it back out to see if I couldn’t give it new life by figuring out a few different ways to play with it.

7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

Ancient Egypt Go Fish is one of a line of history go fish games created by Birdcage Press.

Games are a wonderful way to work in historical information in a way that seems less like school and more like fun.

If you have a child that is drawn to Ancient Egypt like mine was, you will have no problem getting them excited about this game and these other resources that I have gathered for you.

Hands-on Ancient Egypt Activities

First, look at these fun hands-on activities.

  • Try this Egypt Crafts For Kindergarten Create a Fun Kid Sized Mummy.

7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

Finally, look at some fun ways to use this game to do homeschool history.

7 Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

First, play by the directions. There is enough content and information that you can count it as history for the day.

Besides, learning history should be fun.

    1. Play traditional Go Fish.

    Next this just like traditional go fish except the pictures are not the same on the card.

    2. Match up cards in the same categories to create sets.

    There are 6 different categories- gods, goddesses, symbols, pharaohs, mummies, and afterlife.

    Each category has a total of 6 cards each. The object is to collect as many complete sets as you can to win.

    There is a simplified play for younger children.

    Children can ask for one of a general category for example “do you have any mummies” etc…  to create simple pairs.

    There is a mini book that comes with the cards.

    It contains the instructions as well as a breakdown of each item on every card.

    Use the mini book like a textbook to learn more about Ancient Egypt.

    7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

    There is a fun hieroglyphics chart in the book so that your child can write out a message.

    7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

    3. Play memory.

    While the pictures do not match the numbers for each category are the same and items from the same category can be matched.

    7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

    4. Pick a card to choose a history topic.

    Choose a card at random or let your child choose their topic.

    Then use the card as a topic of study to dive deeper into. Use the internet or resource books to study more about the topic.

    7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

    5. Use the cards for art inspiration.

    Use the artwork on the cards as inspiration for your child to create from.

    Your child can make their own hieroglyphics, clay sarcophagus, or paint a picture of an ancient symbol or god.

    7 Fun Ways to Play Go Fish Egyptian Games for Kids

    6. Play War.

    Shuffle up the deck and divide it between two players.

    Have each player flip their top card at the same time, the player with the higher number wins the pair.

    Whoever has the most pairs at the end wins.

    To keep it educational at the beginning and end of each round players must flip through their deck and share one fun fact about Egypt.

    7. Ask random questions.

    Each player grabs a card at random, players ask up to 10 questions to try and guess the card.

    If they are able to guess correctly they get to keep the card and the player with the most at the end wins.

    Example questions- Is this card a symbol? Is this card a bug? Does this card represent a god that is a bird?

    Ancient Egypt DIY Simple and Fun Mummification Process Game

    Today, I have an Ancient Egypt diy mummification process game. You’ll love the other History Games I have on my page.

    If you are studying Ancient Egypt and need a great hands-on activity to help teach your child you’ll love this mummification process game.

    Yes, we made a game for that.

    Games are an incredible way to learn something new.

    Ancient Egypt DIY Simple and Fun Mummification Process Game

    And games reinforce a topic that you are learning.

    Now, I’ve bought all kinds of ready-made games.

    However, creating your own game from the ground up and including your child in the process is the best way to learn.

     I came up with this game that doesn’t require any special items and let’s your child be in charge of the game creation.

    Creating the game will help the facts that they learn stick in their head better.

    Benefits of Game Playing

    Also, it will help teach your children research skills and give them a sense of pride in accomplishment.

    I wanted to be sure it included more than just the history of this Ancient Egyptian ritual.

    For younger children rolling and adding dice is a simple way to also incorporate math into your day.

    They will learn or reinforce anatomy lessons through the anatomy drawings and labels.

    I created a printable with the basic rules and values for the dice numbers rolled.

    Creating the game requires reading, writing, and art skills

    Ancient Egypt DIY Simple and Fun Mummification Process Game

    Before you begin use videos, resources, and books from your personal collection or borrow them from library to learn about the mummification process.

    Fun Ancient Egypt Resources

    This will make creating the cards much easier and give your child an understanding of the why.

    Here are a few resources and activities that you might enjoy along with this diy mummification process game.

    • DIY Senet Egypt Game

    There is also the Ancient Egypt Toob that can be used for art inspiration, sensory bins, dioramas, and so much more.

    Let each child be responsible for creating their own set of cards for when you play

    • White cardstock
    • Colored cardstock
    • Paper slicer
    • Glue stick or double sided tape
    • Markers, colored pencils, or crayons
    • 2 dice
    Ancient Egypt DIY Simple and Fun Mummification Process Game

    First, cut white cardstock into 3 ½” x 4 ½” rectangles. You will need 9 for each player.

    Ancient Egypt DIY Simple and Fun Mummification Process Game

    Then cut 9 of one colored cardstock for each child to 3 ¾ ” x 4 ¾”.

    Write or instruct your child to write one of each of these phrases on the top of each of the 9 cards:

    • 1-Wash body and remove organs
    • 2-Remove brain through the nose
    • 3-Place lungs in canopic jar
    • 4-Place intestines in canopic jar
    • 5-Place stomach in canopic jar
    • 6-Place liver in canopic jar
    • 7-Fill body and cover with salt for 40 days
    • 8-Wrap body in linen bandages
    • 9-Place body in sarcophagus

    Next, encourage them to draw something to represent each of these steps.

    I encourage a bit of silliness if it has something to do with what they are trying to accomplish for the step.

    Use markers, crayons, colored pencils, or whatever they like to make it fun and colorful.

    Ancient Egypt DIY Simple and Fun Mummification Process Game

    Here is a look at some more of the cards we created.

    Below is a printable with the rules and the assigned “value” for each dice combination.

    In the West, they were called Northmen, Norsemen and Danes.

    In the East, they were known as Rus or Varangians. Vikings came from a word in the Old Norse language meaning “sea raiding.”

    The Best Free Viking Lapbook and Hands-on Ideas

    The Vikings came from Norway, Sweden and Denmark.

    Their land was rocky and they found it hard to grow crops.

    Fun Viking Facts

    The Vikings used long ships to raid and steal from other lands.

    And the long ships were powered by sails or by rowing with oars.

    Constantinople was the main city of the Byzantine empire. The Vikings traded there.

    The Vikings were farmers and where it was colder they hunted game and fished.

    Norse farmers grew barley, rye, oats, cabbage, onions and other root vegetables.

    Also, they were both excellent sailors since they could maneuver so easy and soldiers since they knew how to fight too.
