The Great Fire of London Timeline Activity Worksheet

This timeline activity is a hands-on visual way for students to put the events of the Great Fire of London in order. I’ve included the actions of Samuel Pepys in the timeline because it’s interesting, such as his priority to bury wine and cheese (which seems odd to us now, but they would have been very expensive items back then), and because he was a significant figure at the time who left a valuable primary source detailing the event.

There are two options to choose from:

• Worksheet timeline cut and paste – either glue events next to the dates (easier option) or write dates and glue events on (harder version).
• Foldable timeline – glue events below the dates and pictures.

I’ve included a set of clues to help children put the events in order, if needed. These can be cut up or left as is.

You will receive 4 PDFs and 3 editable PPTX files (text is editable, images/layout aren’t).
