Learn Norwegian: Bakery Treats – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Read, think, connect — that is the whole idea of this Norwegian picture-word match. Your child studies the bagels, buns and cakes and reads the Norwegian words offered beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. This task trains recognition of written Norwegian words, because your child has to read the name and join it to the right picture. It is an especially friendly way to practise early Norwegian, since nothing has to be spelled and nothing has to be searched for. Take your time together; what matters here is the calm, happy joining. When a clean line runs from every picture to the correct Norwegian word, your child can look proudly at the match they finished all on their own.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Norwegian word. The bagels, buns and cakes stand ready as pictures, with their Norwegian names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Norwegian name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into Norwegian so light and welcome for your child. Norwegian shares a lot of everyday words with English, so a few of them feel familiar right away.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the feelings and the ones with hospital things hold fresh pictures and new Norwegian words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the bakery treats is ready to go — 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 reading, thinking, and connecting together!
