About this game

Review the lesson “Egypt and Mesopotamia” from the French history curriculum for 6e (ages 11–12). Its questions are about the Egypt of the pharaohs and Mesopotamia, two great civilizations of the ancient Near East that grew up near great rivers.

Review the lesson “Egypt and Mesopotamia”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “Egypt and Mesopotamia”, from the unit “The long history of humanity and migrations.” Its questions are about the Egypt of the pharaohs and Mesopotamia, two great civilizations of the ancient Near East that grew up near great rivers.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random from the lesson: multiple choice, true or false, fill in the blanks, matching, short answers 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

Compare the two civilizations point by point: the river that keeps them alive, who rules them, how they write and what they build. A map and a two-column table will help. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
