Review a unit of the French 6e history curriculum

This review game covers a unit of the French history curriculum for 6e: “Founding stories, beliefs, and citizenship in the ancient Mediterranean in the 1st millennium BCE.” Its questions come from the 5 lessons of the unit already online: “The world of the Greek city-states”, “Athens and citizenship”, “Greek beliefs”, “Rome between myth and history” and “The birth of Jewish monotheism”.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random: 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 before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Before you answer, first spot what the question is about: who rules and who has rights, the gods and the tales about them, or the way we know about the past. When a question sets an old story against what has been dug up or confirmed, ask yourself who is speaking, in what period it was written, and what other clues reveal. To recognize a figure in a picture, look for the object or animal that goes with it. For a timeline, remember that “BC” years count backward: the bigger the number, the older the event. And for a “True or false,” read every word: one wrong detail is enough to make the sentence false. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
