Ancient Egypt Timeline

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 how the Ancient Egyptian civilisation changed over time
• sequence important events on a timeline

This comes under the social studies concept “Continuity and Change”.

Dynasties were groups of pharaohs, and historians grouped these dynasties into kingdoms and intermediate periods. During the kingdoms, Ancient Egypt flourished, and during the intermediate periods and late period, it was a time of decline. The timeline gets children to colour the boxes depending on whether it was a kingdom or period, so that they can see this pattern.

There are two options to choose from:

• worksheet timeline cut and paste – either glue pictures onto the dates (easier option), or write dates and glue pictures on (harder version)
• foldable timeline (glue pictures onto the dates) for students to take home or glue into books

Timeline includes:

• people settling along the Nile River
• kingdoms
• intermediate periods
• late period
• Ptolemaic period
• becoming a province of the Roman Empire

U.K and U.S versions included.
