Learn Norwegian: Spring – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the flowers, raindrops and kites as pictures and, beside them, a selection of Norwegian words. The task: read the Norwegian vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Norwegian name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written Norwegian word to the thing they already know. Because no Norwegian word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning Norwegian. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the Norwegian words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Which Norwegian name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the flowers, raindrops and kites, 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 action words and the ones with birds 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 spring things 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!
