Learn Dutch: Breakfast – Picture-Word Match for Kids

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Dutch word, simply by drawing a line from the picture to its name. On one side are the eggs, pancakes and bananas as pictures; on the other are the Dutch words that go with them. Your child looks at a drawing, reads through the Dutch vocabulary, and decides which name belongs to it. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Dutch name — a soft, happy first step into the language. There is nothing to spell and nothing to search for, only reading, thinking, and joining. Let your child work at their own pace: no timer and no score, just one picture at a time matched to the right Dutch word with a single line.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the eggs, pancakes and bananas and reads the Dutch words beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. That trains recognition of written Dutch words, with no writing at all. Take your time together — what counts is the happy joining, with no clock and no contest. With every pair matched, the look of the Dutch word grows more familiar, and your child moves step by step toward reading their first Dutch vocabulary. 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 animals and the ones with birds 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 breakfast foods 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!
