About this game

Review the lesson “Christians in the Roman Empire” from the French history curriculum for 6e (ages 11–12). Its questions are about the Christians of the Roman Empire: where this new religion comes from and how it spreads, who its first followers are and how they live their faith, why the Roman authorities sometimes pursue them, and how the emperors’ decisions gradually change their place in the Empire.

Review the lesson “Christians in the Roman Empire”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “Christians in the Roman Empire”, from the unit “The Roman Empire in the ancient world.” Its questions are about the Christians of the Roman Empire: where this new religion comes from and how it spreads, who its first followers are and how they live their faith, why the Roman authorities sometimes pursue them, and how the emperors’ decisions gradually change their place in the Empire.

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

Tip for a successful review

For each question, first spot the period it is about: the birth of this religion, the time when its followers are pursued, or the emperors’ decisions. In front of a date, do not stop at the year: ask yourself what changes at that moment for the Christians, and also for the other religions. To put events in order, read the years carefully: with AD years, the smaller the year, the older the event. When a question is about an old text, ask yourself who wrote it and whether it tells what the author saw or what their group believes. And for a “True or false” question, read every word: a single wrong detail is enough to make the sentence false. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
