Lessons on The Vikings

The Cunning History Teacher’s Lesson Plans on the Vikings offer students a detailed understanding of the events, people, and forces that shaped the Viking Age.

One of the key themes of our Lesson Plans is the examination of their society and culture. Students will learn about their daily lives, social classes, family structure, and religious beliefs. They will also learn about their seafaring capabilities and the technology they used for their voyages.

Another important aspect of the Lesson Plans is examining the Viking’s expansion and impact on Europe. Students will learn about the raids, trade, and settlements in Europe and how they affected the people living in the areas they conquered. They will also learn about the cultural exchange between the people they encountered and its lasting impact on European society.

We also include a focus on the Vikings’ legacy. Students will learn about the Vikings’ ongoing impact on European culture and history and the ways in which the Viking Age continues to shape the continent and its people. They will also learn about the efforts to recognise and understand the Vikings and the ways in which contemporary society can learn from and respond to this history.

Overall, our Lesson Plans offer a comprehensive and engaging look at the Vikings’ history. Through a combination of primary source analysis, critical thinking, and historical context, students will gain a deeper understanding of this complex and important period of history. These lesson plans are perfect for any teacher looking to provide their students with a detailed and thoughtful look at the Viking Age and its impact on the world.

The Vikings

Who were the Vikings?

The Vikings came from all around Scandinavia (where Norway, Sweden and Denmark are today). They sent armies to Britain about the year 700 AD to take over some of the land, and they lived here until around 1050.

Even though the Vikings didn’t stay in Britain, they left a strong mark on society – we’ve even kept some of the same names of towns. They had a large settlement around York and the Midlands, and you can see some of the artefacts from Viking settlements today.

Top 10 facts

• The Vikings are also called Norsemen, and came from Scandinavia.
• They spoke Norse , which had an alphabet made up of characters called runes.
• They travelled over the sea in longships, which are long, narrow wooden boats that could be sailed in both deep and shallow water.
• The Vikings left their homeland because they were looking for better places to farm than the kind of terrain that Scandinavia had.
• The Vikings first attacked Britain in 787 AD, but didn’t start to invade and settle in the British Isles until 793 .
• In 878, King Alfred the Great defeated the Vikings in battle and had them sign a treaty saying they had to keep to their own land in England – this section of land was called Danelaw.
• Jorvik was a large Viking kingdom around York ; the last king of Jorvik was Eric Bloodaxe in 954.
• Viking warriors believed that when they died in battle, they went to Valhalla – this is where the king of the gods lived, named Odin.
• England once had a Viking king: King Canute ruled from 1016-1035, and his descendants ruled until 1042.
• A few weeks before the Anglo-Saxons were defeated in the Battle of Hastings in 1066 , they defeated Viking warriors near York, led by Harald Hardrada at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.

• 793 The Vikings attacked a monastery at Lindisfarne in Northumbria and started to settle in England
• 866 The Vikings raided and conquered York, and established the Viking Kingdom of Jorvik

• 878 Alfred the Great defeated the Vikings at the Battle of Ethandun
• 886 The boundary between Anglo-Saxon and Viking territories was established, called Danelaw
• 950 Viking armies raided Wales
• 954 The Viking Kingdom of Jorvik became part of England again
• 994 Viking armies from Denmark and Norway attempted to raid London, but were defeated

• 25 September 1066 The Battle of Stamford Bridge took place near York, between the Anglo-Saxons and Viking invaders led by Harald Hardrada
• 14 October 1066 William from Normandy, "William the Conqueror", won the Battle of Hastings and the Normans began to rule England

Did you know?

• The word ‘Viking’ means ‘a pirate raid’ in the Norse language, which is what the Vikings spoke.
• ‘-by’, as in Corby or Whitby, means ‘farm’ or ‘town’
• ‘-thorpe’, as in Scunthorpe, means ‘village’
• The Viking alphabet, ‘Futhark’, was made up of 24 characters called runes. Each one stood for entire words or gods, as well as sounds.
• There was a large Viking community around York called Jorvik. Archaeologists have found out a lot about the Vikings thanks to the artefacts they found there.
• The Vikings kept long benches in their homes that they’d use to sit on during the day, and then to sleep on at night. Only rich people had beds.
• In Viking times, people usually just took baths once a week! This was often on Saturdays.
• The Normans from France who defeated the Anglo-Saxons in the Battle of Hastings were actually descendants of Vikings! Vikings settled around more places than just Britain – they went to Ireland , Iceland, Greenland, France and Spain too.

The Vikings wanted new land because the places where they came from in Scandinavia – Norway, Sweden and Denmark – weren’t very easy to live in. It was hard to grow crops, which meant there wasn’t a lot of food as the population got bigger. Britain and Europe had plenty of good farmland , so the Vikings tried to claim some of that land for themselves.

Even though the Anglo-Saxons were pretty well established in England, the Vikings would turn up every now and then to raid towns and take a bit of land. Sometimes, instead of fighting the Vikings, the Anglo-Saxons decided it was better to pay them money so they’d stay away. This payment was called Danegeld.

The first Viking attack on England was in 787 on the Isle of Portland. The Vikings went home straight afterwards, but they came back to England in 793 and raided a monastery at Lindisfarne. Monastaries made easy targets because the monks who lived there didn’t have any weapons, and they did have money and food.

The Vikings believed in many different gods , and they thought making sacrifices to the gods kept them all happy. They also told stories about the gods, called Norse mythology . Some of the gods included:

• Thor , the god of thunder
• Idun , the goddess of spring
• Odin , the king of gods and the god of war

The Vikings believed that if a warrior died while fighting in battle, he’d go to Valhalla , which is where Odin was. Other heroes who had died would also be there. Odin would send his warrior maidens, called Valkyries, across the sky to ferry dead warriors to Valhalla.

Viking warriors were very good fighters. They’d wear helmets and carry shields to defend themselves, and they’d also have one of these weapons:

• spear – a leaf shape or spike at the end of a wooden shaft
• sword – these were expensive to make and usually double-edged, and warriors would decorate the hilts
• battle axe – an axe with a long handle, and cheaper to make than a sword

Boats that the Vikings built are called longships – they are long, narrow boats that can be used in both deep and shallow water, making them perfect for travelling over the ocean and carrying lots of warriors onto the shore. Longships were symmetrical, meaning they looked the same at the front as they did at the back. They’d often have dragon heads carved at either end.

VIkings sailed all the way across the Atlantic Ocean to Newfoundland in North America in their longships!

Viking homes were long too – they were called longhouses ! They were rectangular, made from wood and were usually just one big room without any inside walls. There would be one big fire pit in the centre for cooking and keeping the house warm. The roof was covered in thatch, and there was a hole in the middle for smoke from the fire to go through. Benches around the house would be used both to sit on and to sleep on.

Most clothes that the Vikings had were made from wool, but they also had some clothes made from linen. They used dyes made from plants and minerals to make red, green, brown, yellow and blue, so their clothes were very colourful.

Viking men wore a long shirt, trousers with a drawstring tie and a coat with a belt around the waist. Viking women wore long dresses with a tunic over the top that was held up by two brooches pinned at the shoulders. Both men and women wore woollen socks and leather shoes.

Alfred the Great defeated the Vikings at the Battle of Ethandun (in modern day Wiltshire). After this, he and the Vikings agreed to set boundaries for their kingdoms. The area that the Vikings lived in was called Danelaw, and it meant that the land south of the diagonal line between London and Chester belonged to King Alfred (Wessex). Danelaw eventually became smaller and smaller as the Anglo-Saxons took more and more control.

Jorvik was a large Viking kingdom around York. The last king of Jorvik was Eric Bloodaxe, who was driven out in 954. The Vikings in England then agreed to be ruled by the king of England rather than having their own king.

But, that doesn’t mean that the king of England couldn’t be a Viking! The first Viking king of England was King Canute in 1016. He ruled until 1035, and then his sons were kings after that – but only for a total of seven years. Harold Harefoot was king until 1040, then Hardicanute was king until 1042.

Names to know:

King Canute (ruled as king of England from 1016-1035) – Canute was the first Viking king of England. He won a battle against Edmund II that divided their kingdoms, but when Edmund died Canute ruled both kingdoms. His sons, Harold Harefoot and then Hardicanute, ruled until 1042.

Harald Hardrada (c.1015-1066) – Harald Hardrada was the king of Norway. He led Viking armies into England, but was defeated at the Battle of Stamford Bridge in York by King Harold II.

Leif Erikson (c.970-1020) – Leif Erikson was a famous Viking explorer who sailed all the way to North America. 

Eric Bloodaxe (died in 954) – Eric Bloodaxe was king of the Viking kingdom of Jorvik between 947-948 and 952-954. He was the last king of Jorvik before it became part of England.

15 Awesome Viking Themed Projects

Updated on December 9, 2016

Have you been watching the TV show Vikings on television lately and it’s making you feel in touch enough with your inner warrior to try and teach your kids about viking history and culture? Perhaps your kids just started learning about vikings in school or became really intrigued by the time period after they saw the movie How to train Your Dragon ? Either way, we’re a little bit obsessed with viking themed crafts right now and we’re also pleasantly surprised by how many cool viking themed crafting tutorials are out there to help us indulge that interest!

Check out these 15 DIY projects that will make you and your kids really feel like viking warriors by the time you’re finished.

2. Juice carton viking ship

We adore this easily made longboat by Happy Brown House because the juice carton does all the hard work by giving you the shape and you can simply help your kids embellish their boat however they please!

3. Water bottle viking boat

Do you like the idea of helping your kids make their own viking longboat but you’d prefer to help them make one that will actually float, rather than getting soggy and sinking like the one above would? Then try following in Mama’s Kram ‘s foosteps and making he base of your boat out of empty plastic water bottles instead!

4. Authentic viking bread recipe

Not every viking related DIY project has to be and artsy craftsy one meant for little kids. Believe it or not, there are still many age old viking recipes kicking around that will let you play viking in the kitchen too, whether your kids are old enough to help you or not. Check out this authentic recipe for viking bread on Raising Lifelong Learners .

5. Viking brooches

Have you always loved the iron, copper, and bronze jewelry that you’ve seen in pictures of vikings but you’ve never seen anything similar in modern, mainstream stores? Try making your own instead! You don’t have to break the bank to make novelty viking jewelry; simple use some tinfoil, copper wiring, and rhinestones to make the rune-like markings, just like Angelic Scalliwags did here.

6. Viking runestone

Speaking of viking runes, have you ever looked up the language and markings and investigated what your favourite quote or the names of your loved ones might look like? Well, Home School Days suggests using modeling clay to scratch the symbols onto the surface and create a runestone just like you might have found in viking villages thousands of years ago.

7. DIY viking Kubb set

Historical accounts of daily viking society have taught us about a game called Kubb. If you ask us, this will be one of the most interesting viking crafts of all to your kids because it’s an interactive one that they can actually play with after, and they’ll learn from doing so. Check out how Sustainable Living Projects made this authentic Kubb set out of three short wooden blocks and five sharpened sticks.

8. DIY aged viking map

Maybe your kids are so intent on playing viking that they’re been begging you to help make them props for a while now, but you’re ready to go all out and really give them the full “viking experience”? Then they’re going to need a map for going on voyages! Check out how Angelic Scalliwags made this “authentic” viking map from modern graphing paper!

9. Easy viking lunch

Have you and your kids been making viking crafts all day and now it’s time for lunch, but they’re just not ready for a break from all the themed excitement yet? Then make sure lunch follows suit! We love the way Happy Brown House shaped the top of the sandwich, gave it banana horns, and used raisins and pretzels for some detail in order to make an awesome little viking helmet meal.

10.Leather iron age shoes

Perhaps you’re actually the one with the viking intrigue, rather than your kids, and you’re looking to make yourself a DIY craft that you might actually use and feel rather proud of? Then we definitely suggest these gathered leather shoes that are actually an accurate representation of what women would have worn in the Iron Ages when vikings ruled. Get the pattern for creating your own pair of leather shoes from Earth and Living .

11. Cardboard viking shield

Did your kids love their cereal box helmets so much that they’re back and begging you for more easy viking gear that won’t take long to make? Then grab the next closest cereal box and get to work on this adorable little cardboard viking shield! Kix Cereal shows you how it’s made.

12. Painted paper vikings

Sometimes you just can’t beat a little bit of classic paint and paper crafting time! Just because you’ve handed your kids standard painting supplies, however, doesn’t mean they can’t still incorporate their love of viking stories into their arts and crafting time. Check out these hilarious little painted vikings on Painted Paper Art .

13. Viking hat cake

Maybe your kids love vikings so much that they actually asked you to throw them a viking themed birthday party? Well, if you ask us, we think that sounds like a great idea! We’re also glad to report that Bombshell Bling has you covered when it comes to the party cake because they’ve already made a cake design that looks like a classic horned viking’s helmet!

14. Backyard viking play tent

Have you and your kids just finished reading about viking shelters and homesteads, talking at length about how they built their homes on the road as they went off to grand expeditions throughout the lands? Well, then we think they’ll pretty excited to read about how Adventure in a Box made this gorgeous viking tent in their backyard and then outlined the process so that you can make one too!

15. Clothespin dragon

Okay, okay. There’s no real historical or scientific fact confirming that vikings actually had dragons that they battled or tamed and flew around on. The dragons were, however, a symbol of power and success in viking society, so we figured we’d be safe putting at least one viking themed craft on this list! This adorable little dragon is actually made from a clothespin and some construction paper, which we think is fantastic.(found on  Kix Cereal  )

Viking Homework Ideas: 8 Points To Consider

Introduction of vikings in britain.

The age of the Vikings in Britain began about in the 9th Century AD and they lasted for over 200 years. Gangs of raiders started attacking the coasts of Britain by 800 A.D. These raiders came for foods and shelter. They were the Vikings (also called Danes).Just like the Anglo-Saxons who came across the North Sea 400 years ago so did the Vikings in the 9th century.

Slowly like the Anglo-Saxons they started inhabiting the place. They started growing crops and formed shelters. Two distinct groups of invaders cannot stay in the same region thus they drove all the Anglo-Saxons out from that part of the country. King Alfred, Saxon king of Wessex, fought a great and fierce battle against the Vikings, but lastly could not throw them out.

You should go through the main few points of the Vikings so that you can easily do your homework on them.

Delve into the Viking history: 8 tips

• First of all, where did the Vikings come from? The Vikings came from Denmark, Norway and Sweden. Originating from different areas of the then Europe they together crossed the North Sea and inhabited the parts of Britain.
• Second point to consider is, who were they? Vikings were known as Norsemen meaning people from the north. They were actually great sailors and had a nomadic life. They traded then raided and at last, often settled in those areas like they did in Britain.
• Third point should be, when did they invade Britain? In AD 930 they invaded for the first time and in 1066 they invaded for the last time. The raid on the Lindisfarne marked the start the migration of Vikings in Britain.
• Consecutively the fourth point should be on, why they invaded Britain? Vikings had travelled far away from their homeland to invade areas of Britain. Norway was too hilly, Denmark was covered with sandy soils and Sweden was covered in forest. All these reason made them to force their land and search for a better place to live in.
• Fifth point is, what religion did they follow? Vikings had three most important Gods. Odin – the leader of Gods. He was also considered the god of magic, poetry and war. Thor was considered to be the god of thunder. Freyr was considered to be the god of agriculture and fertility.
• The sixth point deals with what their houses looked like? The Viking used to construct their houses with long woods, blocks of stones or turfs. They lived in long rectangular shaped houses. It had upright timbers.
• The seventh point is, Viking clothing. They wore clothes made of linen, wool and fur. They had heretic talents of weaving and thus made their own clothes.
