Part 5 Task:

Draw a large oval to be an empty scarab

base on your paper, like this.

Using the hieroglyph symbols from Part 4, fill in your scarab base with a combination of symbols that show the things that you want to protect or ask for. Check the Symbols page again if you need reminding of their meanings!

If you would like to protect something that is not shown in the symbols, you might want to design and draw a new symbol to include on your scarab. Think of an image that could symbolize your idea and add it to your scarab.

You can make yours as simple or detailed as you like!

You could even make your scarab out of playdough, salt dough or clay, and carve your symbols on to its base!
