Learn Norwegian: Community Helpers – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Norwegian name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the chefs, nurses and pilots, read the Norwegian words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Norwegian names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Norwegian word and the whole match is complete.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the chefs, nurses and pilots as pictures and a selection of Norwegian words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Norwegian word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Norwegian word. It is a quiet task — free to print or to play online. A line may always be drawn again, because here all that matters is the easy thinking with which your child builds Norwegian vocabulary piece by piece. 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 vegetables and the ones with accessories 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 community helpers 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!
