Firstly, there are five reading comprehension activities, or informational texts, about:

  • An Overview of the Vikings
  • Viking Religion
  • Advancements of the Viking Age
  • Leif Erikson
  • Viking King Cnut

These activities require NO PREP and have a body of text that students need to read through thoroughly; then they can use the text to find the comprehension and grammar answers. All texts then have an extension activity, a crossword and a wordsearch for those fast finishers. Answers, for teacher use, are on the final page of each document. Each also comes with a teacher presentation to introduce the topic.

Then, there is our Viking Age Empire Map Activities and Presentation. This hands-on resource brings history and geography to life. Students will explore the lands of the Vikings and beyond, uncover the secrets of major settlements, and trace the Vikings at their peak.

Then, there are two biography writing units about Leif Erikson and King Cnut. These units have been split into four separate lessons which will take students approximately 40-50 minutes each.
