Learn Dutch: Feelings – 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 smiling, sad and surprised faces 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.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the feelings 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 breakfast foods and the ones with sweet treats 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 feelings 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!
