Reconstruct the poem by dragging each line into its correct position. Your goal is to reassemble the original poem as accurately as possible. As you move the lines, you'll see whether your arrangement is correct, helping you explore the poem's flow and meaning. You can also print out the jumbled poem to cut up and reassemble in the classroom. Either way, take your time, enjoy the process, and discover how the poet's words come together to create something truly beautiful.

Over 8 billion people in the world today,
A billion faces, one by one,
A million, ten million, a billion round the bend.
Comprehending their size, our minds can't quite sound.
That's 11 and a half days, the viewing's been done.
The magnitude boggles the mind, like never before.
That's over 11 and a half years, the time it would need.
A million faces, all looked at one by one,
Ten thousand faces, one by one,
Ten million people, that's a lot to see,
A hundred thousand, that's a sight to behold,
That's over 2 and a half hours, all said and done.
Over a day and a half, the story's been told.
The scale is so vast, it's hard to understand,
From thousands to millions, to billions and more,
Numbers so big, they're hard to grasp,
Big numbers, big numbers, so hard to comprehend.
Comprehending their scale, our minds can't quite sound.
The sheer size of these numbers, so immense and so grand.
Over 31 and a half years, the viewing's been done.
A hundred million, almost more than believed,
To see them all one by one, it would take over 250 years, so they say.
The scale of their size, we can barely clasp.
A thousand photos, one by one,
The magnitude of these numbers is truly profound,
Over a year and a quarter, the viewing would be.
The scale of these numbers is truly profound,
Just over 16 minutes, they'd all be done.
