Ready to set sail into the Viking Age? This immersive simulation is your ticket! Learners won’t just read about Viking raids and Norse explorers—they’ll experience them.

Step into the role of a bold Norse navigator in Vikings: Raids to Realms, where learners are transported back to the 9th and 10th centuries. As a leader, they’ll strategize daring raids, negotiate alliances, and adapt to ever-changing cultural landscapes. Whether forging treaties or braving storms at sea, each decision shapes not just their own success, but the very legacy of the Viking world.

What’s Included:

• 120-slide interactive PDF with immersive, historically informed scenarios
• 12 decision-based challenges to sharpen critical thinking and strategic planning
• Comprehensive simulation journal for reflection, tracking decisions, and deeper learning

Perfect for engaging learners in history, honing decision-making skills, and exploring the complexities of leadership, expansion, and survival during one of Europe’s most transformative periods.

Why This Simulation Stands Apart

Let’s be honest—history can feel stale when it’s just a list of dates and battles. Who actually recalls the precise year of the Lindisfarne raids, anyway? Rather than relying on passive lectures, this simulation delivers a fully immersive Viking experience. It’s not just a slideshow of facts—it’s a dynamic lesson that places learners at the helm of their own longship.

Throughout these scenarios, students will keep a journal to track decisions, outcomes, and key details. They won’t simply read about Vikings; they’ll live the era—plotting raids, forging alliances, and wrestling with real moral dilemmas, just like the Norse heroes of legend.

Tailored Pacing, Maximum Engagement

How long does this journey take? That depends on your classroom dynamics! Some groups may cruise right through if they’re focused, while others can’t resist dissecting every possible option (trust me, once the debates begin, they’re hooked). The flexible design makes it easy to match the lesson to your learners’ energy and curiosity.

Crafted with Passion

I’ve poured countless hours into shaping these simulations, and the outcome speaks for itself. Few methods ignite the same enthusiasm—students do more than memorize names and places; they relive the crucial moments of Viking history. This hands-on approach drives stronger retention and cultivates genuine interest in the past.

If you’re ready to see your learners light up with questions (and maybe a few remarks resembling 'Paris again?'), Vikings: Raids to Realms is the adventure you’ve been waiting for.
