Learn Dutch: Clothes – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Dutch words together. Your child sees the shirts, socks and hats and, beside them, a colourful set of Dutch names still looking for their partners. They read the Dutch vocabulary, compare it with the drawings, and link each picture with the right line. In doing so your child practises connecting the written Dutch word to what it shows — a gentle bridge into the new language. Because no word has to be written, it is all reading and recognizing, with no stress at all. Let your child work at their own pace and reconsider as often as they wish. There is no timer and no score, only your child, the pictures, and the pleasure of every Dutch word matched correctly.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Dutch word. The shirts, socks and hats stand ready as pictures, with their Dutch names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Dutch name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into Dutch so light and welcome for your child. 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 beach things and the ones with Christmas 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 clothes 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!
