How to use it
- Pick a sample (a day, a life, the water cycle, a story's plot) or type one event a line, like “🌋 1980: Mount St. Helens erupts”.
- Check the timeline on the page. Choose date order if every date has a number.
- Press Print, then tape the landscape pages end to end. Or press “Show on the board” and Space reveals one event at a time.
Ideas for class
- A “my life so far” timeline in the first week of school.
- Retell a story's beginning, middle and end with a picture at each step.
- Sequence the water cycle, a life cycle or the steps of an experiment.
- Hide the events on the board and let students predict what comes next before you reveal it.
- Give each group a period of history and tape their pages into a class timeline.

Questions
How many events fit?
Six to a page and up to eighteen on three pages, so each event stays big enough to read across the room.
Do I have to give dates?
No. Leave the date off for a plain sequence, or use words like “Step 2” or “Morning”. Date order works when every date has a number.
How do I add pictures?
Start a line with an emoji. Paste one, or use your keyboard's emoji key.
Is anything sent to you?
