Timelines

We have used different timelines for years to help put history, science or other events in a tangible perspective. We used a notebook, but you could use a clothesline, poster board or any other number of methods.

Here are some timeline resources that I hope you find useful:

Digital History
Education World – Timelines
Fasttrack to America’s Past
History Mole (possibly my favorite– it provides a search feature)
Timeline of Art History
Timeline of Computer History

Those will get you started on dates, but just HOW do you make the timeline? Here are some resources for making a timeline as well.

Additionally, there are plenty of commercial resources out there, but I think you can find those on your own. One of my children liked to color and cut out pictures for the timeline. You can find a lot of great free clip art that helps you do just that. Here are a few free clip art sites:

Like most resources, there is no right way, just the way that works best for you!
