Learn Danish: More Birds – Picture Crossword for Kids

Naming things and spelling them — that is what your child practises here, in Danish. They look at the parrots, swans and crows, work out what each is called in Danish, and enter it letter by letter into the grid. Because each box holds exactly one letter, your child naturally attends to every sound and every quirk of Danish spelling. Where two words cross, the shared letter has to match, so Danish vocabulary and writing come together as they puzzle. Your child may hardly notice how much early Danish they are absorbing along the way. Puzzling, guessing, writing — without any rush and without any contest, simply at their own speed, until the final Danish word slides neatly into the grid.

Look, think in Danish, and write: your child finds the Danish word for the pictured birds and spells it into the crossword. Each word is joined to another at a crossing, so your child attends to every single letter. That practises Danish spelling and firms up vocabulary. It is a feel-good puzzle — no haste, no contest, just one new word per picture. You can print it for free or open it online to play together, as often as the urge to puzzle returns and a few more Danish words feel worth meeting. Danish often sounds softer than it looks, so a word can be written one way and spoken a little more gently.

Has your child caught the joy of naming and spelling in Danish? Then keep going! The crosswords about the supermarket things and the ones with breakfast foods hold fresh pictures, new Danish words, and new crossings to puzzle over. And once your child is really in the swing of it, there is a whole free collection built around the birds — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Danish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun discovering, writing, and puzzling together!
