Adam's Viking Workshop

We can accommodate up to 3 classes (90 children) for a full day's worth of highly-engaging, hands-on learning. How do we manage this? We provide two teacher-led sessions that are extremely immersive, and crucially, easy for teachers to run!

A typical Viking Workshop looks like this:
​
Morning

• Attack on Lindisfarne - Recount from Monk
• Who were the Vikings are where were they from? 
• How do we know about the Vikings?
• Why were they raiding?
• How did they move around?
• A look at a Viking raider

​
After Break

• Training a Viking warrior
• Archery and bow making

​
Afternoon

• The tale of Eric the Red
• Farming, crafting, trading and Dane law
• Religion and runes
• Kubb and other Viking pastimes
• Final myth buster​

The History Guy is one of the most creative people I’ve met (I’ve met a lot of people). Not only is he creative, he has an incredible passion for teaching. The History Guy draws on all his creativity and thinking outside the box, coupled with a depth of understanding of young people and child development to create an immersive learning experience. If you’re a teacher or the parent of a primary aged child, you want one of these workshops in your school! Mr Mahal, Parent helper, Stafford

Yesterday our Year 3 and 4 classes participated in the Viking workshop.  All of the children had an amazing time and we would especially like to pass on our thanks to Adam who made the day especially fun and informative for the children. It was a wonderful experience for them and we were very impressed with how it was all set out - thank you. Sharon Medler, Teacher, St John's Primary School
