<h1>🎲 Games and Fun in Ancient Egypt</h1>
<h2>Week 5 &bull; Wednesday &bull; How Egyptian Kids Played</h2>

<h3>📖 Reading Time</h3>
<div class="reading-box">

<p>Kids in ancient Egypt loved to play, just like you! Archaeologists have found toys buried in the sand: wooden animals with moving jaws, spinning tops, balls made of leather stuffed with straw, and dolls with hair made of beads.</p>

<p>Egyptians loved board games too. The most famous was called <strong>senet</strong>. Players moved pieces across a board with 30 squares, trying to reach the end first. Even King Tut loved senet — four senet boards were buried in his tomb!</p>

<p>Kids also swam in the Nile's safe spots, played leapfrog and tug-of-war, and raced each other. Grown-ups liked music and dancing at festivals, with harps, flutes, and rattles called <strong>sistrums</strong>. Fun is one thing that never goes out of style!</p>

<h3>🔍 Hands-On: Make a Game</h3>
<div class="activity-box">

<p style="margin-bottom:2px;"><strong>You need:</strong> paper, a pencil, and a small button or coin for each player.</p>

<p style="margin-bottom:2px;">Draw a board with 30 squares in 3 rows of 10, like senet. Mark a START and an END. Take turns moving 1, 2, or 3 spaces (flip a coin or roll a die). Add 2 'lucky' squares (move ahead 2) and 2 'trap' squares (go back 2). First to the end wins!</p>
