This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “The first writing systems”, from the unit “The long history of humanity and migrations.” Its questions are about the invention of the first writing systems in two great civilizations of the ancient Near East, and what they were used to record.
Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, matching and timelines. 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.
