Learn Swedish: Flowers – Picture Crossword for Kids

Pictures become Swedish words in this puzzle: your child sees the tulips, daisies and roses, finds the right word in Swedish, 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 Swedish spelling in the most natural way. At the same time their Swedish 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 Swedish words.

Look, think in Swedish, and write: your child finds the Swedish word for the pictured flowers and spells it into the crossword. Each word is joined to another at a crossing, so your child attends to every single letter. That practises Swedish spelling and firms up vocabulary. It is a feel-good puzzle — no haste, no contest, just one new word per picture. You can print it for free or open it online to play together, as often as the urge to puzzle returns and a few more Swedish words feel worth meeting. 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 birds and the ones with clothes 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 flowers — 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!
