This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 5e: “The Hundred Years’ War and the monarchical state”, from the unit “Society, the Church, and political power in the feudal West (11th-15th centuries).” Its questions are about the Hundred Years’ War, the crown disputed between two kings, the Valois kings, the defeats of Crécy, Poitiers, and Agincourt, the Black Death, the Treaty of Troyes, Joan of Arc, Orléans and the anointing of Charles VII, the reconquest up to Castillon, permanent taxes, the taille, and the standing army.
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: 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.
