Vikings

Workshop

Viking Experience

Meet Thorgilde - Help her prepare the household for the return of Thorgest Forkbeard, by completing a range of everyday tasks from Viking childhood. This includes Viking games, puzzle solving and household tasks. Children will gain first hand experience of life in a Viking household. 

For multiple form entry schools we give your pupils a full day experience with a choice a  of resourced in-class activities to delve deeper into Viking the life  and how archaeologists work to understand them.

Let us know if you would like a 2 person delivery for Anglo Saxons and Vikings.

All online sessions are run by our  archaeologist. Your school will be the only participants on the call to allow time for your pupils questions. Sessions last 30-60 minutes.

Meet Thorhilde (30- or 60-minute sessions),

Thordilde’s husband Thorgest is off Viking – your group will be welcomed into the longhouse and have an opportunity to ask Thorhilde about her life and see Viking objects in use, by request Thorhilde can have examples of either her morning or evening meals.

Thorhilde’s story time (30- or 60-minute sessions)

Join Thorhilde in her longhouse for a myth of the Norse gods or an Anglos Saxon story including a question and answer session. 

Fun for Viking children (60 minutes)

Play is an important part of life for the Norse child, meet Thorhilde as she introduces you to some of the toys that they used, and the important skills that are learnt through their use (replicas will be shown and examined). Children will be encouraged to come up with their own games with the objects given. This session can be coupled with a craft activity to make a felt marble – an equipment list will be provided on booking.
