This Vikings Unit Study is part of our January themed homeschool curriculum. It introduces Norse history, culture, and mythology through crafts, storytelling, and imaginative play for elementary-aged learners.
Free Activity Ideas
These simple activity ideas are included to help you plan seasonal hands-on learning. Full printable lessons will be added over time.

Create an at-home viking longship with all the historical details!
Viking Shields
Create Viking Shields with the same meaningful colors as the real thing to use in dramatic play.
Viking Berserker Costumes
