Events in Order
Age 8 History
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
- The card with the baby bootie, the earliest event on the line.
- The card with the red tricycle, the event that happened next.
- The card with the school backpack, the most recent event.
- 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.
