Learn Swedish: Spring – Picture Crossword for Kids

Naming things and spelling them — that is what your child practises here, in Swedish. They look at the flowers, raindrops and kites, work out what each is called in Swedish, and enter it letter by letter into the grid. Because each box holds exactly one letter, your child naturally attends to every sound and every quirk of Swedish spelling. Where two words cross, the shared letter has to match, so Swedish vocabulary and writing come together as they puzzle. Your child may hardly notice how much early Swedish they are absorbing along the way. Puzzling, guessing, writing — without any rush and without any contest, simply at their own speed, until the final Swedish word slides neatly into the grid.

In this picture crossword your child names the flowers, raindrops and kites in Swedish and spells each word into the boxes. Swedish 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 Swedish 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 Swedish feels like a cheerful little puzzle your child gets to discover all by themselves. 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 fruit and the ones with community helpers 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 spring things — 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!
