Review the lesson “The first humans”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “The first humans”, from the unit “The long history of humanity and migrations.” Its questions are about the appearance of the first humans and the traces uncovered by archaeological digs.

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

The time spans are huge: we count in millions of years. Always ask how we know it: which trace, which fossil, which dig. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
