Bartering Fair

Shecklet #2 has been learning about ancient Egypt at school.  The culmination of their Egyptian unit was a bartering fair.  The kids created Egyptian items in class that they used to barter with parents.  They each had a “keep” and “trade” pile in front of them.  I brought an assortment of trinkets, stickers & pencils to barter with.  Some kids were bartering pros – I’m guessing their parents really enjoy that at home!

After everyone finished trading items, the kids had a Egyptian-inspired snack (figs, pomegranate seeds, “mummy wraps,” grapes, apples and pitas.)
