Learn Portuguese: Body Parts – Picture Crossword for Kids

In this picture crossword your child looks at a small drawing, thinks of the word for it in Portuguese, and writes that word one letter at a time into the grid. The pictures show the hands, feet and ears, and each one is a gentle first lesson in Portuguese vocabulary. Where two Portuguese words cross, they share a letter, so a word your child has already solved quietly hints at the next. That makes it word-naming and spelling rolled into one: your child names the picture in Portuguese, then spells it out carefully, letter by letter, until the boxes are full. There is no clock and no score here, just a calm puzzle where every drawing turns into a Portuguese word and the whole grid slowly fills in.

In this picture crossword your child names the hands, feet and ears in Portuguese and spells each word into the boxes. Portuguese vocabulary and spelling get a quiet workout at once, because the shared letters at the crossings have to agree. Let your child puzzle at their own pace — there is no clock and no score, only the pleasure of each Portuguese word spelled correctly. Once a word is solved, it hints at the next, and the grid fills in piece by piece. That way a first taste of Portuguese feels like a cheerful little puzzle your child gets to discover all by themselves. Portuguese adds little marks to some letters, like the curly a in "ã", which gives the word a soft nasal sound.

Has your child caught the joy of naming and spelling in Portuguese? Then keep going! The crosswords about the hospital things and the ones with shapes hold fresh pictures, new Portuguese words, and new crossings to puzzle over. And once your child is really in the swing of it, there is a whole free collection built around the body parts — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Portuguese stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun discovering, writing, and puzzling together!
