Our writing pages are a fun way to start younger children researching and writing about famous people, in this case, the Egyptian ruler Cleopatra. We have colour or black and white versions to choose from below.
Cleopatra was known for her astounding beauty, and she followed several beauty routines including bathing daily in donkey's milk to keep her skin soft. It was said 700 donkeys were needed to provide her daily milk bath! Can the kids design a poster advertising this treatment?
The children need to practise their persuasive writing skills for this worksheet, which asks them to imagine they are Cleopatra asking for Julius Caesar's support to claim the throne against Ptolemy.
