Review a unit of the French 6e history curriculum

This review game covers all of a unit of the French history curriculum for 6e: “The long history of humanity and migrations.” Its questions come from the eight lessons of the unit: the first humans, the first migrations, life in the Paleolithic, the Neolithic Revolution, the first villages, the first states, the first writing systems, and then Egypt and Mesopotamia.

Each round has 10 questions drawn at random: 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 before a test.

Tip for a successful review

Before you answer, find which period the question is about: the Paleolithic (hunter-gatherers), the Neolithic (the first farmers), or the time of the first states and of writing. For a timeline, place the oldest event first. If you get it wrong, read the explanation carefully: it tells you what to remember.
