Arcventure The Vikings
Grades 2-6, Win/Mac
Discover the Viking times, first by excavating and
discovering ruins, then travel back in time to ask the Vikings about
the objects you have found! Arcventure: The Vikings is designed to
help students (aged 7-11 years) find out about the Viking times.
When time traveling in Ancient times students are able to explore
the area, talk to and ask questions of the people who live and work
in Jorvik. The students are also able to access a journal throughout
the adventure, which allows them to make notes about their progress
and their findings. Student journals can also be accessed through
the teacher controls, from which you can print or copy/paste it into
a word-processing document such as Word. Arcventure: The Vikings is
a fantastic way to bring history to life!
Teacher controls are available to control difficulty levels, turn
the narration and sound effects on or off, or protect access to
teacher controls with a password. Student records are available that
show each students progress in the program.
Activities Include:
• Excavation - You are allowed a total of 14 days for the
excavation and are allotted a spade, trowel, brush, and magnifying
glass in which to dig! Choose your instruments wisely for each takes
a different amount of time away from your day so clever strategy
would be helpful here!
• Information Hut - At the end of each day's digging you can return
to the information hut to look more closely at the objects you have
found. The computer database contains information about most of the
objects found in the excavation.
• Expeditions - If you find an object that is listed as
unknown in the information hut, you will need to travel back to the
times of the Vikings to find more about it. In the expedition you
will find yourself in a reconstruction of Jorvik that you have just
been excavating. Remember that you are on a fact-finding mission and
you should keep a careful note of the information you find.
