Synopsis
More than 80 projects drawn from archaeological evidence and Bible descriptions make Old Testament days come alive in this activity guide for children ages 5 to 12. Children can enjoy a desert picnic of dried figs, goat’s milk cheese, and lentil stew, or make a loose tunic like the one young Isaac wore on his family’s trek to the Promised Land nearly 4,000 years ago. They can make a painted throwing stick or a wooden paddle doll like the ones Moses might have played with in the Pharoah’s palace, and build toy instruments like those the Israelites used to celebrate their return to Jerusalem in approximately 538 B.C. Games, recipes, crafts, and just enough historical background provide plenty of educational fun for home or school.

Reviews
Grade 2-5-Through an explanatory text and more than 80 hands-on activities and projects, Sanders attempts to provide a glimpse into the daily lives of people living 4000 years ago. Unfortunately, this effort falls short. The text includes many interesting facts and raises thought-provoking questions regarding both the everyday and religious life of the people, but the accompanying activities are quite uneven, sometimes creative and instructive, other times dull. Children may enjoy making an Egyptian paddle doll, but few will want to make a sleeping mat, dried bricks, or a measuring tape. Each activity is accompanied by a boxed list of materials needed. The black-and-white diagrams and drawings are clear but uninspired.
