About this game

Review the lesson “The birth and spread of Islam” from the French history curriculum for 5e (ages 12–13). Its questions are about the birth of Islam in Arabia, the Prophet and his departure for another city, the first caliphs, and the expansion of their empire in little more than a century.

Review the lesson “The birth and spread of Islam”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 5e: “The birth and spread of Islam”, from the unit “Christendom and Islam (6th-13th centuries): worlds in contact.” Its questions are about the birth of Islam in Arabia, the Prophet and his departure for another city, the first caliphs, and the expansion of their empire in little more than a century.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, 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: 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 right after the lesson or before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Put the great steps in order: the Prophet’s birth, the first revelations, his departure for another city, his death, and then the dynasties of caliphs. For each one, ask yourself in which city it all happens. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
