The lesson plan for Who Were the Vikings – And Why Were They So Fierce? is designed to support parents and carers using Elective Home Education. It provides a flexible structure for learning about the Vikings — where they came from, how they travelled, what they believed in, and why they became known as such fierce warriors.

Inside, you’ll find clear learning goals, creative projects, discussion questions, and comprehension tasks to suit learners of different ages and interests. The plan includes both written and hands-on activities and can be used as a single session or as part of a broader study of history, mythology, or ancient civilisations.

Everything is written in plain English, so even if you’re not confident with history, you’ll be able to guide your child through the lesson. The printable format is ideal for learning offline, and the open-ended questions encourage curiosity, creativity, and critical thinking.
