Learn Norwegian: Reptiles and Amphibians – 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 frogs, snakes and turtles 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.

Which Norwegian name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the frogs, snakes and turtles, read the Norwegian words, and join each drawing to the right one. So they learn along the way how Norwegian names look in writing. A line may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when every connection is in place. Until then your child may read and think entirely in their own rhythm, because here there is neither a clock nor a single right pace to keep. 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 zoo animals and the ones with supermarket 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 reptiles 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!
