Learn Norwegian: Summer – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Norwegian name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the sunshine, ice creams and beach balls, 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, think, connect: your child studies the sunshine, ice creams and beach balls and reads the Norwegian words beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. That trains recognition of written Norwegian words, with no writing at all. Take your time together — what counts is the happy joining, with no clock and no contest. With every pair matched, the look of the Norwegian word grows more familiar, and your child moves step by step toward reading their first Norwegian vocabulary. 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 animals 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 summer 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!
