These lead up to our big event. Take your class outside to perform a Viking burial – expect fire and water!

The Vikings are considered to be some of the most gruesome soldiers to have ever walked the Earth. Conquering lands and sailing the seas were a part of everyday life. However, there is a lot more to be discovered about these people and their way of life. The Vikings are incredibly good at teaching children and young people about geography, history, english and many other subjects in creative and exciting ways.

Despite the bloodlust and aggression of the Vikings, it is important to remember the incredibly respectful and spiritual way that they contemplated death. A Viking burial is a somewhat unexpected way to consolidate the learning of the day in a unique and fascinating ceremony.
