Learn Danish: Zoo Animals – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Danish name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the lions, zebras and giraffes, 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.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the lions, zebras and giraffes 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 vegetables and the ones with accessories 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 zoo animals 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!
