Learn Dutch: Colors – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the reds, blues and greens 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.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the colors with their Dutch names. Your child reads the words, thinks, and draws a line between picture and word. This calm joining task firms up Dutch vocabulary, because the written word keeps coming together with the right picture. Let your child puzzle in peace, with no pace and no score. You can print the match for free or open it online with your child to play, as often as the urge to connect returns. 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 birds and the ones with classroom objects 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 colors 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!
