Learn Norwegian: More Birds – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Norwegian word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the parrots, swans and crows as drawings; opposite them their Norwegian names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Norwegian vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the Norwegian name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Norwegian vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching Norwegian word.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Norwegian word. The parrots, swans and crows 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 forest creatures and the ones with instruments 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 birds 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!
