Learn Dutch: Fourth of July Things – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the flags, stars and drums as pictures and, beside them, a selection of Dutch words. The task: read the Dutch vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Dutch name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written Dutch word to the thing they already know. Because no Dutch word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning Dutch. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the Dutch words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the flags, stars and drums as pictures and a selection of Dutch words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Dutch word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Dutch 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 Dutch vocabulary piece by piece. Dutch likes to join small words together, so a single word can grow surprisingly long.

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