How to Train Your Dragon

Dear Group Facilitator:
This curriculum for How To Train Your Dragon is structured for use in conjunction with watching the
movie and reading one or more of the books by Cressida Cowell about the heroic misadventures of Hiccup
Horrendous Haddock III.
How To Train Your Dragon is a story for ages 8 -12. The themes of many of the questions in this guide
are appropriate for all ages, but may need to be reworded when used with younger youth. The activity
pages marked with a pencil icon are appropriate for youth 8 and up.
The guide offers discussion topics, activities and service-project ideas for youth. Exploring relationships,
exploration and adventure, and changing perceptions are key themes in this guide.
Synopsis
From the studio that brought you Shrek, Madagascar and Kung Fu Panda comes How To Train Your
Dragon. Set in the mythical world of burly Vikings and wild dragons, and based on the book by Cressida
Cowell, the action comedy tells the story of Hiccup, a Viking teenager who doesn’t exactly fit in with his
tribe’s longstanding tradition of heroic dragon slayers. Hiccup’s world is turned upside down when he
encounters a dragon that challenges he and his fellow Vikings to see the world from an entirely different
point of view.
