Learn Norwegian: Breakfast – Picture Crossword for Kids

This crossword brings your child gently into contact with Norwegian. The drawings show the eggs, pancakes and bananas, and your child says the Norwegian word to themselves before setting each letter into the grid. In doing so they practise turning a remembered Norwegian word into its correct written form — a lovely warm-up for anyone just starting to learn Norwegian. At the crossing points the words meet on a shared letter, and that is exactly where small moments of "oh, it fits!" appear. Take your time, because this puzzle wants to be solved slowly. There is no timer and no score, only your child, the pictures, and the satisfaction of every Norwegian word spelled correctly into place, box after careful box.

Here your child turns pictures into Norwegian words. They study the eggs, pancakes and bananas, 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 furniture and the ones with sea creatures 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 breakfast foods — 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!
