Do you think you have mastered Texas history by now?  Do you know the names, dates, and faces that have made our state what it is?  Test out your knowledge with this fun timeline game.  There are two events per year – one in Texas, and one somewhere else in the world! This game can be played by one to four players.

Directions
  1. Cut apart all of the cards and the dates in the two print outs
    1. If you would like to color all of the cards, it might be a good idea to color them before you cut them out – either way it is up to you
  2. Lay out the years in a line on a flat surface (like a table) with plenty of room around each of the years
  3. Equally divide the cards amongst all the people that are playing
  4. Have each player play all of the cards in their hands (there is no need to take turns, everyone can go at one time)
    1. Each year will have two events – something that happened in Texas, and some other event (could be a publication, artwork, strange law, or world event)
    2. Each person should place their cards at a different point around the year, so that their score can be tabulated at the end
      1. If there are two players, the players pick a side of the years (right or left)
      2. If there are four players, each player picks a corner of the year (top right, top left, bottom left, and bottom right)
    3. Because everyone is being scored individually, there can be more than one card for each of those categories around each year (because one of them might be wrong)
  5. Once all of the cards have been played, use the following chart and check all the cards
    1. Any player that gets a card right gets a point
    2. Whoever has the most points wins

In this timeline skills game, students show their knowledge of the Texas Revolution by following context clues to order events and win artifacts. Thank you for taking the time to write a great post!
