Simple History of Chocolate - Timeline Activity

This is a simple activity where students place eight events in the history of chocolate, from Ancient Mayan and Aztec drink to the invention of milk chocolate in Switzerland.

They place the events in the history of chocolate (cut-out squares with snippets of information - from an A5 sheet) onto an A3 sized timeline. Then are able to draw their own Illustrations and add more details.

There is also an A4 sheet for the students to add any other details they found interesting in the history of chocolate in sections labeled "Mayans and Aztecs", "European Explorers" and "Eating chocolate is invented".
