What did Viking children do for fun?
The Vikings, especially kids, played a game similar to Chess, called Hnefatafl, and a throwing game called king, like bola. And just as I hope you and your friends do, they invented their own games to play around outside. . Younger kids would play with a wooden “wolf” which was covered with a “lambskin”. As kids grew up, they would practice with their weapons and develop their skills with them. Some toys have also been found from the Viking age. One was a toy boat and another was a toy horse. Dolls have also been found, and balls as well. Sadly, there isn’t much information on what Vikings did for fun. But, just imagine what you like to do and they probably did it too, except that they didn’t have electricity. So no T.V.!!!
