How to Play Wire Line

  1. 1

    Hold the print

    Easy shows the year and the thread. Medium and hard hide the tray year. Hang the missing beat on Independence, The Union, or another thread.

  2. 2

    Hang it in a gap

    The line is time. Left is earlier. Pin here before both, between them, or after both.

  3. 3

    The strip develops

    A hit scores Pins and shows the story. Tap Next print for the next thread. A miss tells you the beat is before both, between them, or after both — and why.

Key Features

  • One thread, not three random years

    Tea Party with the Constitution. Brown with the Civil Rights Act. A wall that goes up, then comes down.

  • The strip develops

    A hit hangs all three prints in order and names the why — not just the year.

  • US then world

    Easy is Independence, The Union, The ballot, Two world wars. Hard hides years and goes to After Rome and Crowns.

What is a timeline skill?

Chronology is not sorting three random numbers. It is hanging one beat on a thread you can already see — tax protest, then a country, then a written plan — instead of memorizing a multiple-choice year.

Why play Wire Line?

  • 1

    A story, not a sort

    Kids see why the print belongs there after it hangs.

  • 2

    Stops 3rd-grade stacking

    Tagged 6th–8th. It does not add to the 86-game 3rd-grade pile.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are the years hidden?

On easy, the year is on the print so kids learn the thread. Medium hides the tray year. Hard hides hanging years until The strip develops.

What is on hard?

World threads from After Rome to The wall. Hang the print using titles, then read why the three beats belong together.
