This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of Ancient Mesopotamia in order, so that they can see how the first ancient civilisation began, changed over time, and eventually ended.

This activity meets the following learning objectives:

• develop an understanding of when the first civilizations appeared (Ancient Mesopotamia)
• develop an understanding of a historical period
• develop an understanding of how the Ancient Mesopotamian civilization changed over time
• sequence important events on a timeline

There are two options:

• a foldable option (color and ink saver) for students to glue on the events to match the dates
• a worksheet option which has two versions: dates given or dates for students to write in order before adding the events.

The timeline comes with clues to help students put the events in order.

I hope your students enjoy making their timelines and find the activity helpful.

Colour and ink saver, U.K. and U.S. versions, answer key and visual instructions included.
