Learn Norwegian: Activities – Picture Crossword for Kids

Pictures become Norwegian words in this puzzle: your child sees the running, jumping and swimming, finds the right word in Norwegian, 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 Norwegian spelling in the most natural way. At the same time their Norwegian 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 Norwegian words.

Here your child turns pictures into Norwegian words. They study the running, jumping and swimming, settle on the right Norwegian 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 Norwegian becomes a real pleasure. Take your time — this crossword wants to be solved slowly, with no rush at all. With every word entered, Norwegian spelling grows more familiar, and your child quietly gathers a little treasure-chest of new vocabulary. Norwegian shares a lot of everyday words with English, so a few of them feel familiar right away.

Has your child caught the joy of naming and spelling in Norwegian? Then keep going! The crosswords about the clothes and the ones with flowers hold fresh pictures, new Norwegian 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 action words — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Norwegian stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun discovering, writing, and puzzling together!
