Ancient Egypt challenge

Today in my class we had to do a teamwork challenge to work out our topic for this week.  The activities we did were:
1. Solve 3 puzzles to make 3 pictures
2. An activity where we had to  unscramble words and  one side was a word find that you had to do after  you unscramble the words.
3.  We had to answer math questions and each time we got one right we got one letter of the topic until we spelt the word.
The topic was ancient Egypt.  I really enjoyed the team challenge.
