Learn Danish: Feelings – Picture Crossword for Kids

Pictures become Danish words in this puzzle: your child sees the smiling, sad and surprised faces, finds the right word in Danish, and writes it one letter at a time into the boxes. Because every word is joined to another at a crossing, your child watches each individual letter as they write, practising Danish spelling in the most natural way. At the same time their Danish vocabulary grows, since each drawing brings along a new word. It is a puzzle for easy, unhurried thinking, with no pace to keep and nothing to tally. You can print it for free or open it online to play together. When all the boxes are full, your child has not only solved a grid but picked up a handful of fresh Danish words.

Here your child turns pictures into Danish words. They study the smiling, sad and surprised faces, settle on the right Danish word, and spell it carefully into the grid. Because the words trade a letter at their crossings, your child checks their own work as they go. So a first step into Danish becomes a real pleasure. Take your time — this crossword wants to be solved slowly, with no rush at all. With every word entered, Danish spelling grows more familiar, and your child quietly gathers a little treasure-chest of new vocabulary. 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 clothes and the ones with flowers 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 feelings — 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!
