Recently a friend asked about our Viking studies from last fall.  Here are the links I had saved.  I thought I’d pass the collection on to those of you who might be thinking about a Viking study as well.

Movies to include:  Veggie Tales: Lyle the Kindly Viking,  Brave, and How to Train Your Dragon

Interactive history games  http://www.bbc.co.uk/schools/primaryhistory/vikings/

Unit study and labooking downloads  http://www.homeschoolshare.com/viking_adventure.php

paper dolls printables  (this site is interesting, it is written in (perhaps?) Scandinavian so I have very little idea what it says, but wonderful art to browse)  http://www.ungafakta.se/pyssel/klipp/klippdockor/

Timelines and history  http://hubpages.com/search/?s=vikings

Walkthrough type videos  http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/nova/vikings/

168 page English to Norse dictionary.  (we didn’t spend much time learning this, but it was an interesting list to look over a few times)  http://www.yorku.ca/inpar/language/English-Old_Norse.pdf

And this was our chalkboard wall mural!
