5 questions/Mixed/Multiple Choice
People, places and the dates that connect them.
Trace a route from ancient writing and the pyramids to the Moon landing and the fall of the Berlin Wall. The collection mixes dates with named people, documents and civilisations, rather than asking you to memorise a timeline alone. When a date appears, have teams label it as a battle, document, invention or political change before they answer. That small step helps players build a timeline instead of guessing isolated years, and it creates a natural opening for a short historical follow-up.
Say whether a date refers to a battle, an ending or a document. Close historical events can be easy to mix up.
