Food is scarce in the Norse lands, and you and your sister, Freja, have heard tell of other Vikings travelling to England to start a new life. Led by the village headman Grim, however, some of your fellow villagers are more intent on pillaging and stealing than settling alongside your new Anglo-Saxon neighbours. When Freja is captured by King Alfred, you’re pulled into the fray. Can peace prevail?
In this Experience, your class will:
- Keep an amulet of Thor’s hammer to bring you luck
- Sail to England on Grim’s Viking Longship, ‘The Dragon Fire’
- Desert Grim’s men as they pillage a monastery
- Encounter Anglo-Saxon children
- Make peace between The Vikings and King Alfred
This Experience includes a Teacher Resource Pack linking The Vikings Experience to:
