As part of our topic work on the Anglo-Saxons and Vikings, we've been learning about some of the things the Vikings did in their leisure time. The Vikings loved to play all sorts of games indoors and outside; they called board games 'tavl' games (meaning 'table'). One very popular game was called Nitavl, although you might know it by the name Nine Men's Morris!
Year 5 had a lot of fun figuring out the rules of the game by watching this video, learning how to play, and then writing instructions for other children to use to play the game. We really learnt how to think and play strategically!
