A timeline activity for The Butterfly Lion which covers the key events from the whole novel. This activity is perfect for deepening pupils’ understanding of Michael Morpurgo’s prize-winning novel.
Resources provided:
• Key events cards

Give this timeline activity to small groups, pairs or individual pupils to complete to consolidate pupils’ understanding of the text.
