Learn Danish: Activities – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Danish word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the running, jumping and swimming as drawings; opposite them their Danish names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Danish vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the Danish name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Danish vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching Danish word.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the running, jumping and swimming as pictures and a selection of Danish words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Danish word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Danish word. It is a quiet task — free to print or to play online. A line may always be drawn again, because here all that matters is the easy thinking with which your child builds Danish vocabulary piece by piece. Danish often sounds softer than it looks, so a word can be written one way and spoken a little more gently.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the winter things and the ones with household things hold fresh pictures and new Danish words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the action words is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Danish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
