A short activity exploring Aztec day signs, part of the Aztec calendar. Each of the 20 signs had a significance to the Aztecs, influencing activities done on different days of the calendar. Pupils will discover what signs like crocodile, wind, dog and flint knife meant to Aztecs and are encouraged to reflect on images they would now associate with the same qualities.
This Aztec calendar with an interactive model supports this activity in greater detail.
Each slide shows examples of Aztec hieroglyphs and could be explored for iconography to encourage pupils to create their own modern glyphs.
