Cereal Box Requirements

(Click Above For Point Sheet)

Front of Box

You should have a “catchy” title and picture that will grab the buyer’s attention. You must have a picture of the cereal itself, so think about what shape and color could be used to represent the pharaoh.

Back of Box

Create a game related to the life of your pharaoh. You should include information about your pharaoh’s architectural achievements and other accomplishments.

Other Ideas: Word Scramble, Matching, Game Board, Hidden Pictures

Left Side of Box

Find a creative way to present information about your pharaoh’s family.

Right Side of Box

This is where you get to describe your pharaoh’s ruling time period and personality. Find a unique way to represent this information.

Extra Credit

Prize

This is the best part of a cereal box! Design a prize that could be related to the life of your pharaoh. An image of the prize should appear somewhere on your box, and a 3D prize should be put inside the box.

Your group has also been given the task of creating an advertisement persuading people to buy your product. You can choose to make either a commercial, song, or poster advertising your cereal. In your advertisement, you should include:

A catchy slogan or “jingle” that people will remember
Reasons why people should buy cereal celebrating this pharaoh
At least 5 facts about your pharaoh.
You need to be persuasive. Include information and strategies to encourage people to buy your new cereal.
