Learn Portuguese: Flowers – Picture Crossword for Kids

Pictures become Portuguese words in this puzzle: your child sees the tulips, daisies and roses, finds the right word in Portuguese, and writes it one letter at a time into the boxes. Because every word is joined to another at a crossing, your child watches each individual letter as they write, practising Portuguese spelling in the most natural way. At the same time their Portuguese vocabulary grows, since each drawing brings along a new word. It is a puzzle for easy, unhurried thinking, with no pace to keep and nothing to tally. You can print it for free or open it online to play together. When all the boxes are full, your child has not only solved a grid but picked up a handful of fresh Portuguese words.

Recognize, spell in Portuguese, write it in: your child sees the tulips, daisies and roses in the drawings, finds the right Portuguese word, and enters it letter by letter into the grid. Each box takes a single letter, and the crossing Portuguese words help one another along. That strengthens Portuguese spelling and stretches their vocabulary — a comfortable puzzle with no pressure, free to print or to play online. Your child may erase and rethink a word whenever they wish, because in this puzzle all that matters is calm, curious thinking, one careful letter at a time. 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 flying things and the ones with winter things 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 flowers — 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!
