Learn Danish: Thanksgiving – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Danish name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the turkeys, pumpkins and pies, read the Danish words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Danish names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Danish word and the whole match is complete.

Which Danish name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the turkeys, pumpkins and pies, read the Danish words, and join each drawing to the right one. So they learn along the way how Danish names look in writing. A line may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when every connection is in place. Until then your child may read and think entirely in their own rhythm, because here there is neither a clock nor a single right pace to keep. 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 shapes and the ones with tools 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 Thanksgiving things 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!
