Learn Danish: Shapes – Picture Crossword for Kids

A picture, a Danish word, a row of empty boxes — that is how each clue begins. Your child studies the circles, squares and triangles in the drawings, searches their memory for the right Danish word, and writes it neatly into the grid. Every single letter matters, because the Danish words interlock and trade a letter wherever they meet. So recognizing a familiar picture becomes hands-on practice with Danish spelling and Danish vocabulary at the same time. Let your child work at their own pace and puzzle it out unhurried; what counts here is the careful, happy thinking. When the last word finally fits and every box holds a letter, your child can look proudly at a grid they filled in entirely by themselves.

Here your child turns pictures into Danish words. They study the circles, squares and triangles, 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 sea creatures and the ones with spring things 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 shapes — 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!
