KS2 English - Viking Sagas

Video animations from BBC Teach of some of the best-known Viking Sagas, told in a light-hearted but faithful style.

Download the Teachers Notes, then go to the BBC Teach website for the animations, the first of which is available here.

The collection begins with the Viking account of how Odin creates the Viking world, before relating tales involving gods and goddesses such Thor, Loki, Freya and Iduna - as well as plenty of goblins and giants!

Each video has a transcript of the text making it an ideal resource to extend the study of myths and legends into drama and the dramatisation of narrative text.
