Don't all timelines teach something?

Well, actually, no.

How often have you seen your child create a timeline but not seem to understand the relevance of the dates and events? Or, have no recall of people, places and things.

Here are five ways to use timelines that will keep a child's interest fresh and learning high:

1. Use smaller increments of time.

Most timelines encompass the sweep of history from creation to the 20th Century. Children in lower elementary grades do not have a sense of centuries and millennia of time. The concept of large blocks of time does not develop until a child is in the upper elementary grades or later. Still, a timeline is a valuable tool. Create a timeline for specific time periods, like the Middle Ages, or the seasons, or the life cycle of a butterfly, or the sequence of happenings in Little House on the Prairie are just of few examples.

2. Make giant timelines

Sometimes the little numbers and lines on the page are just too darn small. Kids like to get into history--literally. Make an oversize wall timeline. Put it on the floor, sometimes, and ask the kids to "take a walk through history". Amy Pak of Homeschool In the Woods, has high-quality, historic figures and timelines that can be printed out large or small.

3. Narrate with timelines

Use a biography timeline (or other short increment of time) for narration. A favorite at our house is to finish a biography, create the biographical timeline and narrate the entire book from it. A further extension of the activity would be to write the narration. The timeline and written narration are saved together in a notebook.

4. Create a timeline with index cards.

Take a pack of 4X6 and 3X5 index cards, colored markers and your history timeline. On each large card write the name of a major historical period. In American history for example the time periods are: Early Explorations, Colonial Times, Revolutionary War, Growth of the Nation, Westward Expansion and so on. On the smaller cards, write the dates in one color and people/events in another color. As your child explores each new period in your reading, have him go back and assemble the card-timeline, putting the dates and people/events under the appropriate heading then narrate.

5. Use a Century Chart to each chronology

A Century Chart is a sheet of 81/2 X 11 paper with 100 squares on it. British educator, Charlotte Mason used this as a tool for teaching the concept of chronology. The directions are simple. Each row represents a decade, one hundred squares equals 100 years. Choose a time period, ask your student to identify, say 10 major events of that period and make up little symbols to represent these events. So, for example, the Battle of Trafalgar might have a ship, the Civil War flags of blue (the North) and grey (the South), Queen Elizabeth the First could be a crown with a numeral 1 inside the crown. The Century Chart is a marvelously flexible teaching tool and can be used in many ways besides history, such as a life timeline for a student, biography of a famous person, great discoveries of science. Use your imagination.

Timelines don't have to be dull. They are wonderful tools for children to hang learning "pegs" on. Just make sure that the kind of timeline activity matches the child's interests and learning readiness. With these five ideas your students will never be bored.
