Timeline - Celebrities

Be the first to correctly place your cards on the Timeline to win the game!

Place well-known people in the correct order by working out when they lived - and discover how different figures connect across history.

Play on its own, or combine this set with other Timeline sets to build one huge game of Timeline! It’s really interesting to see how different people, events, and discoveries overlap.

The Celebrities set includes both pop culture icons and historical figures.

How to Play:

Each player starts with a hand of cards (date side down), and one card is placed in the centre face up to begin the timeline.

On your turn, choose at least one of your cards and place it where you think it belongs in the timeline.

Flip it over to check:
👉 If you’re correct, it stays in the timeline.
👉 If not, discard it and draw a new card.

As the timeline grows, it becomes more and more challenging to place your cards correctly!

The first player to correctly place all their cards wins.

Something we love about Timeline is how naturally it builds an understanding of history without needing to memorise dates. Players place events in order by working out what makes sense - and as the timeline grows, the thinking becomes deeper and more connected. It’s simple to learn, quick to play, and helps kids truly begin to see how events relate to each other.

It’s really interesting to see how different people, events, and discoveries overlap throughout history.

If you use games in your homeschooling program, this is a beautiful one to add - especially if you want something that helps history really make sense.

▪️ Timeline pairs beautifully with The Story of the World - the Homeschool History Program.
