This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of Ancient Egypt in order, so that they can see how one of the great civilisations began, flourished, declined, and eventually ended.
This activity meets the following learning objectives:
- develop an understanding of when the first civilisations appeared (Ancient Egypt)
- develop an understanding of a historical period
- develop an understanding of how the Ancient Egyptian civilisation changed over time
- sequence important events on a timeline
There are two options to choose from:
- Worksheet timeline cut and paste – either glue pictures under the dates (easier option), or write dates and glue pictures on (harder version). Students use the dynasties to help them put the kingdoms and intermediate periods in order.
- Foldable timeline - glue events under the dates and primary source images. Students use pictures and clue cards to help them order the kingdoms, intermediate periods, key pharaohs and achievements.
U.K. and U.S. versions included.
I hope your children enjoy making their timelines.
You will receive 2 PDF files.
