Research for the Game

I have been doing some research online and firstly I started with the revision sites that are available to primary school children on this topic, I wanted to see what the actual facts that they need to know are. I have found that because this is just a sub-topic that they don't need to know a lot of information.

For a board game to work, whether what the format is, I would need to have a lot more information that what is required to have for the Y5/6 educational purposes. So I have decided to make more of a general Viking game, which not only hits all the criteria for the curriculum but will also give some further knowledge and may put a lot of the information in context for some of the students.
