This review game covers a unit of the French history curriculum for 5e: “Transformations of Europe and opening to the world in the 16th and 17th centuries.” Its questions come from the 6 lessons of the unit already online: “Europe discovers the world”, “Charles V and Suleiman, two empires”, “Humanism and the Renaissance”, “The Reformations and the Wars of Religion”, “Francis I and Henry IV” and “Louis XIV, the Absolute King”.
Each round has 10 questions drawn at random: 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: 5e is the second year of middle school in France, for students aged 12 to 13. Elsewhere, it works as general knowledge for curious learners of that age. Play it again and you get other questions: it is good practice before a test.
