Learn Norwegian: Toys – 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 balls, blocks and teddies 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.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the balls, blocks and teddies 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 beach things and the ones with Christmas 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 toys 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!
