The spoon hidden in this grid is a SKJE, and it does not sound like it looks

Everything in this grid is something a child can point at indoors: a lamp, a cushion, a spoon, a carpet, a telephone and a tap. Six Norwegian words, six pictures, one field of letters to comb through. Because every object is within arm's reach in a real house, these words go on being practised long after the sheet is finished, which is what makes household vocabulary worth learning early.

SKJE, the word for spoon, is the one that catches people out: four letters, and the skj at the front is said like the sh in shoe. KRAN means tap. LAMPE and TELEFON are near enough to English to be guessed on sight, while PUTE and TEPPE are short and behave themselves. Across the six there is a good spread — two familiar, three straightforward, one genuinely surprising.

The best use of this page is a walk round the house afterwards. Hand your child the finished grid and let them track down the real lamp, the real spoon, the real cushion, saying the Norwegian each time. Ten minutes of searching plus five of pointing beats twenty minutes of either on its own. Print it as often as you need; nothing here is timed and nothing is scored, and a child who wants to go round the house twice may as well.
