Let’s step back in time. As a child whose family lives along the Nile thousands of years ago, your name would be made up of several words. Each morning you would wake up to the sun-not an alarm clock-and start the day with prayer to the main god of your town. You would wear good luck charms to make things go well and make the gods happy.

After a big breakfast, which has to last you until the evening meal, you would go to work with your parents. Boys would go with their fathers and girls with their mothers, learning the jobs their parents did and helping them with their work. Only scribes and doctors went to school. When payday comes, your parents receive baskets full of food and clothing from the people they work for. Your family doesn’t miss having money, because there is no such thing.

Boys learn the songs the men sing to make their work enjoyable. Girls and women are often musicians and gymnasts, celebrating life through music and dance.

When harvest time comes, everyone helps in the field. Girls toss grain and corn high in to the wind to clean it. Boys bundle crops and put them inside baskets. There is lots of work to do in old Egypt, but also time for play. On the way back from the fields you might stop for a swim in the Nile River or one of the canals.

If you were sick you would be taken to a priest in the temple called The House of Life. The priest would feel your head and then his own, so he could compare the temperatures. If you were sick, he would stand over you and chant a magical spell, speaking directly to your illness. Then he might give you healing plants or potions to eat which often smelled or tasted very bad. Ancient Egyptian doctors figured that awful medicine might make the illness want to leave the child’s body. Some herbs and plants that these ancient doctors used are still used today-like drinking chamomile tea for an upset stomach.

Your family pet might be a little monkey that followed you around all day, a protective goose, a cat, or a dog. Pet owners would often have their pets mummified at death.

Common toys in ancient Egypt were: balls made of linen rags wrapped around each other, tied with string, and painted; games like checkers; dolls made of cloth and clay; and little animal pull toys made of wood.
