Vikings

This series is designed to help teachers bring history topics to life through imaginative creative arts activities.

Each pack includes ten laminated, double-sided cards, printed in full colour.

Each card describes in detail activities that recreate aspects of life in a particular historical period using art, drama and dance.

All activities are based on historically researched authentic practices of the time.

Ideal for whole class or small group sessions, the packs are an inspiration for busy teachers looking for new ways to approach project work at Key Stage 2, and can easily be used with Key Stage 1 classes.

Viking activities in this pack include: recreating a Viking celebration through drama and dance; writing kennings and drapas; making Viking jewellery, brooches and armbands; runic writing to recreate magical charms; dyeing wool with plants and weaving tapestries; Viking food - making festival loaves; and Viking games - morels and chess.
