This workshop covers everything from home-life to battles, Gods and how to have fun, Viking-style. This workshop is part of the Y4 history curriculum. Our Viking warriors have been successfully raiding schools for nearly twenty years and, in much the same way that the original Vikings left an enduring mark on Britain, they leave a lasting impression on pupils and teachers like. 

Morning activities

The day starts with a short talk, followed by a number of activities for the children to take part in, such as:

  • Play Fox and Geese the Viking board game
  • A Viking quiz
