The Vikings believed in many gods and goddesses. Here are some of the main ones:

Odin – the ruler of the gods. He rode an eight-legged horse.

Thor – the god of thunder. He carried a hammer, and drove a chariot pulled by goats.

Freya – the goddess of love and death. She wore a cloak made of falcon feathers and her chariot was drawn by cats.

For your homework, we would like you to design your own Viking god. Think about the following:

What is their special power? What do they represent? What clothes do they wear? Would your Viking be a hero or a villain? Explain.

To support with understanding definitions for spellings, the ‘Collins children’s cobuild dictionary’ is a very useful tool.
