KS2 World History Timeline Display

This printable World History Timeline covers all of the specified civilisations on the 2014 National Curriculum. Measuring 1.8m wide by 1m high, it provides a great visual stimulus to show children how different periods existed at the same time in different parts of the world.

Note: Period dates have been take as ‘classic’ periods of study. They do not represent entire civilisation dates from beginning to end for all. Children should be told that some civilsations may have existed before or after these periods.
To Print full size:
Open the PDF in Adobe Reader as you normally would, press Print, then select the ‘Poster’ option. It should preview the timeline as separate A4 sheets with ‘cut’ marks. Trim each sheet and stick it onto a sturdy background. Shiresealing this works well.
