Events in Order

Age 8 History

Events in Order

A timeline is a line that holds events in the order they really happened. The oldest thing goes first, and each newer thing goes after it, further along the line.

Step by step

  1. The card with the baby bootie, the earliest event on the line.
  2. The card with the red tricycle, the event that happened next.
  3. The card with the school backpack, the most recent event.
  4. The yellow wooden arrow, showing the direction from older to newer.

Examples

  • Photos of you as a baby, then at four, then now, laid out in a row.
  • Getting ready in the morning, waking up first, then dressing, then breakfast.

Key takeaways

  • A timeline shows what happened first and what happened later.
  • Events on a timeline always move in one direction, from older to newer.
