A Great Resource:
This is a great resource. Although billed as Old Testament Days there are activities in here that would appeal to teachers who are not teaching 'old testament times' but teaching about that period of time. There are crafts for Egypt for example. Very fun and very easy crafts and information.

The activities take some time and may be a little messy but they are excellent for involvement and for learning.
