Viking ship model Enactive learning - a Viking trading game to help children understand the full variety of Viking life and culture. They were so much more than the 'vicious Vikings' stereotype.

Aims are for children to:
• learn about the goods traded by the Vikings and the extent of their trading network across Europe and beyond
• appreciate enactively (kinaesthetically) the patterns and processes of Viking trade
• understand where the Vikings fitted in chronologically.

Download the teachers' notes and resources. Instructions to pupils includes information about the goods each Viking group has to trade.
