American Revolution timeline worksheet for students to order key events chronologically.

To put these events in the correct order, we need to look at when each battle happened during the American Revolution. Let’s go step by step:

1. Battle of Lexington and Concord – This was the very first major battle of the war. It happened on April 19, 1775. So this is #1.

2. Battle of Bunker Hill – This happened next, on June 17, 1775. Even though it’s called “Bunker Hill,” most of the fighting was on Breed’s Hill. Still, it’s the second big battle. So this is #2.

3. First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga – This took place on May 10, 1775 — wait, that’s actually *before* Bunker Hill! But let’s double-check:
- Lexington & Concord: April 19, 1775
- Fort Ticonderoga: May 10, 1775
- Bunker Hill: June 17, 1775
→ So Fort Ticonderoga comes *after* Lexington & Concord but *before* Bunker Hill? Actually, no — many sources list Fort Ticonderoga as happening after Lexington/Concord but before Bunker Hill. However, some timelines group early 1775 battles together. Let’s be precise:

Actually, correction:
- Lexington & Concord: April 19, 1775
- Capture of Fort Ticonderoga: May 10, 1775
- Battle of Bunker Hill: June 17, 1775
→ So order so far:
1. Lexington & Concord
2. Fort Ticonderoga
3. Bunker Hill

But wait — the worksheet says “First battle of Fort Ticonderoga” — which is correct, since there was a later one in 1777. We’re only dealing with the first one here.

4. Battle of Brooklyn – Also known as the Battle of Long Island. Happened August 27, 1776. That’s over a year later. So this is #4.

5. Battle of Yorktown – The last major battle of the war. Happened in October 1781. British surrendered here. So this is #5 (last).

Let’s confirm the full timeline:

✔ 1st: Battle of Lexington and Concord — April 19, 1775
✔ 2nd: First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga — May 10, 1775
✔ 3rd: Battle of Bunker Hill — June 17, 1775
✔ 4th: Battle of Brooklyn — August 27, 1776
✔ 5th: Battle of Yorktown — October 1781

Wait — hold on! I made a mistake earlier. Let me recheck the dates carefully:

- Lexington and Concord: April 19, 1775 → FIRST
- Fort Ticonderoga: May 10, 1775 → SECOND
- Bunker Hill: June 17, 1775 → THIRD
- Battle of Brooklyn: August 27, 1776 → FOURTH
- Battle of Yorktown: September–October 1781 → FIFTH (LAST)

Yes, that’s correct.

So the order from top (first) to bottom (last) should be:

1. Battle of Lexington and Concord
2. First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga
3. Battle of Bunker Hill
4. Battle of Brooklyn
5. Battle of Yorktown

Final Answer:
Battle of Lexington and Concord
First Battle of Fort Ticonderoga
Battle of Bunker Hill
Battle of Brooklyn
Battle of Yorktown
