Learn Swedish: Body Parts – Picture Crossword for Kids

In this picture crossword your child looks at a small drawing, thinks of the word for it in Swedish, 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 Swedish vocabulary. Where two Swedish 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 Swedish, 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 Swedish word and the whole grid slowly fills in.

This crossword joins looking and writing in Swedish. Your child recognizes the hands, feet and ears, says the Swedish word to themselves, and spells it into the grid boxes. At the crossings a shared letter shows at once whether the Swedish spelling is right — a kind little self-test. So vocabulary and spelling grow together through play. Let your child puzzle in comfort; there is nothing to win here but a full grid. That quiet act of turning a picture into a written Swedish word is exactly what makes first steps into the language feel so light and welcome. Swedish has three extra letters at the very end of its alphabet — a, a and o with little marks — that English does not use.

Has your child caught the joy of naming and spelling in Swedish? Then keep going! The crosswords about the vehicles and the ones with animals hold fresh pictures, new Swedish 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 Swedish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun discovering, writing, and puzzling together!
