This review game covers a unit of the French history curriculum for 5e: “Christendom and Islam (6th-13th centuries): worlds in contact.” Its questions come from the 5 lessons of the unit already online: “Byzantium, a Christian empire of the East”, “Charlemagne and Carolingian Europe”, “The birth and spread of Islam”, “Baghdad and learning in the Muslim world” and “Christendom and Islam: contacts and conflicts”.
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.
