Mummification Worksheet – Ancient Egypt in English

A reading and listening worksheet on how the ancient Egyptians made mummies. It fits a history or CLIL lesson and, around Halloween, a lesson on mummies that goes beyond costumes. The steps are written in the past simple passive – the brain was removed, the body was washed in water and salt – so the worksheet also works as passive voice practice.

What is in the set

  • write the words under the pictures – heart, lungs, linen, wig, hook, jar and seven more;
  • listen and put the twelve steps of embalming in the correct order;
  • eight questions: which organ was left in the body and why, what went into the four jars, what was buried with mummies.
