Use a book on hieroglyphics to print worksheets out to show children the letters of the alphabet written in hieroglyphics. Let them practice writing their name or initials using the hieroglyphics until they are happy with the way it looks.
Have the students cut large ovals, approximately six inches long and three inches wide out of colored tag board. Have them cut a slightly smaller oval out of construction paper in a contrasting color. For younger students, you may want to provide a template for them to trace, or cut the ovals for them. Students fourth grade or higher can measure and cut the paper and tag board themselves.
Have the students draw the hieroglyphics in pencil on the construction paper, with one symbol on top of the other. After they are happy with the pencil drawings and have corrected any mistakes, have them trace over the hieroglyphics with a thin colored marker. Then use a glue stick to attach the construction paper oval to the tag board oval, centering it so that the tag board creates a frame.
Using a single hole puncher, punch holes in the very top center of the oval. Thread approximately eighteen inches of yarn or thin ribbon through the hole and tie it in a knot. Let the children wear the necklaces.
