Lesson Plan

The Vikings Lesson Plan: Littles Edition

Meet the longship, visit a Norse farm, write your name in runes, and hear old tales.

This is the Littles Edition of The Vikings: one ready-to-teach week written just for grades K-3. Every day follows the same rhythm: Reading on Monday, Writing and Words on Tuesday, Science and Math on Wednesday, a Hands-on Project on Thursday, and Show and Tell on Friday.

The big question: Who were the Vikings, and how did they live, sail and tell stories?

The Week

• Mon: Meet the Longship (Reading) • Tue: A Day on the Farm (Writing & Words) • Wed: Foil Boat Test (Science & Math) • Thu: Rune Name Stones (Hands-on Project) • Fri: Viking Story Day (Show & Tell)

Teaching more than one level? The all-levels edition of The Vikings has Littles (K-3), Middles (4-6) and Bigs (7-8) in one file, so siblings or a mixed classroom can study the same topic together.

Perfect for homeschool families, grade K-3 classrooms, co-ops and substitute plans.
