Have students make timelines of their own life by deciding on a few events and looking through magazines to find pictures that represent those events. Glue the pictures with a description of the event on index cards. Attach to yarn. These can be hung up on a bulletin board for display. I had my students make pockets and include in their social studies notebook. 
Adjust the idea for any type of sequencing or stages or lifestyles.
