Review the lesson “The first states”

This review game covers a single lesson of the French history curriculum for 6e: “The first states”, from the unit “The long history of humanity and migrations.” Its questions are about the rise of the first states: cities ruled by kings, with laws, taxes and armies.

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

A state is a power that rules over a territory: look for who governs, how they make people obey and how they collect wealth. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
