Kids’ Guide to Vikings
Debuting on DVD July 23
Hiccup, Astrid, and the other teens at the Dragon Academy show
us a bit about what it was like to live as a Viking, but there is so much more
to know! Come take a look at this quick and easy guide to some of the most
important facts about Viking life.
When it comes to action and excitement, the sky’s the limit in
this high-flying animated adventure based on the Academy Award®-nominated hit
movie How To Train Your Dragon!
Vikings at Sea
Not
all Vikings travel by dragon like they do in Berk! Vikings built great, big
boats called longships for war. Each one could carry at least 60 men! Even
though they were so large, Viking longships were designed to be speedy and
could move through the water much faster than other boats.
Viking Clothes
Vikings from Denmark, Norway, and Sweden dress a lot like
Vikings from Berk, but with more layers. To stay warm in the cold winters,
Vikings wore clothes made of wool, animal skin, or linen and shoes made of
thick leather or goatskin. In battle,
they wore helmets made of leather or iron.
Viking Homes
Vikings really knew how to make the most of their surroundings!
Houses were built of stone, mud, and blocks of turf. They made thatched roofs from woven sticks
covered in mud. Vikings probably wouldn’t let dragons sleep in their houses the
way Toothless does!
Viking Children
The Vikings in Berk get to go to the Dragon Academy to learn
about how to become better dragon trainers. Instead of going to school, real Viking
kids stayed home to help their parents work. Even without school and books,
children could learn about history through songs and stories passed down from
the older members of the town.
Viking Food
The
dragons in Berk eat fish, veggies, and bread given to them by their riders.
Vikings ate similar foods, but also enjoyed meat from farm animals or wild
animals that they would hunt. They drank out of wooden cups or drinking horns.
Sometimes they had feasts for festivals that would last over a week!
