Viking games

We know the Vikings enjoyed board games, and we enjoyed making our own Viking themed games and then playing them! Some of the boards and playing pieces were very carefully made and a few very competitive games were played! Not only was it good fun, it was good practice at using the skills we all need for working in groups.

Well done everyone.

 

By the way, do you know where, and what game, the Vikings saw which inspired THEM to create their own board games?
