History Teasers is a set of short American history lessons for grades 4–6, with Poss Jonah and the Possum Holler gang. Do four lessons in a week, take a Friday test, earn stars, unlock a sticker and give your Pet Pal a treat.
How it works
Monday through Thursday: one new short lesson a day (five little puzzles). Lessons you have already finished can be practiced any time.
Friday: a weekly test that unlocks after all four lessons, covering that week’s ideas.
One level: grades 4–6. The first version is an 8-week core, from Native peoples through Reconstruction.
The tone is honest and age-right. Native nations are diverse and still here. Hard topics such as slavery and civil rights are told plainly, without gore.
Poss, Jeri Lynn, Aunt Verna Mae, and friends host the lessons. Aunt Verna Mae hosts the Friday test.
There is no timer and no “game over.” A wrong answer just means try again.
Free, with no tracking
History Teasers is free. There is no account and nothing to buy. Progress stays on your own device. We don’t use ad networks or analytics. Between lessons we show a small note about our own books and apps; its links open only after a grown-up holds a button.
History Teasers is a practice app. It is not a substitute for schoolwork or for advice from a teacher.
Who makes it
History Teasers is made by Poss Jonah as part of Help-Pal, a family of simple, free apps.
