What are some good ideas for a creative timeline?

For language arts, I have to make a timeline of my life with each event for every year drawn in a cartoon. EX: gumballs in a gumball machine, Ice cream scoops, balloons. The ideas above I can’t use because people before me have already done them. Any ideas?

Answer #1

You can get some of that colored fuzzy paper and glue, tape, paste it over a sheet of cardboard. Then what you can do is get some sturdy sticks, kind of like toothpicks but a little thicker and paste a picture of your time frame on them. Then, you can align them to form a chain and you can chain them and in between each time frame you can put the year or something.

Then you can put a small description below the time frame giving a small summary of what it means.

Hope that helps! Oh, you’re gonna need a lot of room for this one :)
