Build a Pyramid out of Sugar Cubes -- You will need about 220 cubes per child for a 10 cube X 10 cube pyramid. Supplies needed are the cubes, glue, and a piece of sturdy cardboard as your base. Your first layer will be 10 cubes X 10 cubes. Fill in the square with more cubes to create a solid foundation. The next layer will be 9 cubes X 9 cubes, then 8 X 8, etc. Add enough cubes on the interieor of each layer to make a solid square, or your pyramid may collapse!

Play the Egyptian Mummy Race Game! Separate the kids into 2 teams and give each a roll of toilet paper. The teams choose a player to be their "mummy." At the signal, each team wraps its "mummy" (leaving room for breathing & seeing, of course!), and whoever is finished first wins!
