Review the lesson “Life in the Paleolithic”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “Life in the Paleolithic”, from the unit “The long history of humanity and migrations.” Its questions are about life in the Paleolithic: nomadic groups who live on what wild nature offers them, with their tools and their shelters.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks and matching. After each answer, an explanation recalls what to remember. Hints are free, and you can go back.

The game follows the French national curriculum: 6e is the first year of middle school in France, for students aged 11 to 12. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice right after the lesson or before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Remember that Paleolithic people do not farm yet: they move around to find food. Tell apart what you see in a picture from what you conclude from it. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
