Learn Norwegian: Birds – Picture Crossword for Kids

Naming things and spelling them — that is what your child practises here, in Norwegian. They look at the robins, owls and ducks, work out what each is called in Norwegian, 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 Norwegian spelling. Where two words cross, the shared letter has to match, so Norwegian vocabulary and writing come together as they puzzle. Your child may hardly notice how much early Norwegian they are absorbing along the way. Puzzling, guessing, writing — without any rush and without any contest, simply at their own speed, until the final Norwegian word slides neatly into the grid.

Here your child turns pictures into Norwegian words. They study the robins, owls and ducks, 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 flowers and the ones with kitchen tools 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 birds — 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!
