Dum, dum de dum...daa da

 Well, that's supposed to be the mastermind tune because....it's quiz time. Dominic has been tormenting me asking me to make up Power Ranger quizzes for some time now and as it is totally boring and entirely useless info, I decided to try and harness this interest in quizzes to something more eductional. His chosen specialist subject is now... The Vikings. (I think mindless violence is the link here and attracts him to both the PRs and the Vikings). (Should I be writing whole sentences in parenthesis??)
Anyway, we have looked up a book about Vikings and have learnt a few things so here are the questions - Can you match the knowledge of a nearly five year old? Proceed with caution...

1. From which 3 countries did the Vikings originate?

2. What did they call their ships?

3. What did they carve on the prow of their ships?

4. What was the name given to the payment countries gave to the Vikings to stop them attacking?

Dominic is struggling a little with the pronunciation of the last but otherwise scores four correct answers with no passes. Not sure I would have done if I hadn't read him the book. Posted by Picasa

1. Norway, Iceland and Denmark
2. Longboats
3. Big wing-looking things

How did I do? How did I do?

I can assure you I never looked on the internet. Honestly. No, really.

We didn't get to the last question now did we. By the way, I've checked my ever busy social schedule babysiting on the night in question is fine. Hmmm let's hope Max likes me again by then

OK - but does he know what happens after you pay the Danegeld? That's the important thing
