Benin Empire Timeline Activity

This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of the Benin Empire in order, so that they can see the changes that took place over time, from the first settlements of the Edo people to modern-day Nigeria.

There are a few options to choose from:

• worksheet or foldable
• Cut and paste or write the events.
• Worksheet with dates given or students write the dates.

I’ve included a set of clues to help children put the events in order, if needed. These can be cut up or left as is.

US and UK versions included.
UK version has events occurring in Britain at the same time in history.

I hope your students enjoy making their Benin Empire timelines.
