Learn Dutch: Fruits – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Dutch words together. Your child sees the apples, bananas and pears 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.

Which Dutch word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the apples, bananas and pears, read the Dutch names, and draw a line from each picture to the right word. With every connection it sinks in how the Dutch name of a familiar thing looks. So their Dutch vocabulary grows step by step, with no rush and in real calm. Your child may think as long as they need, discovering in the friendliest way what the things they already know are called in Dutch. 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 clothes and the ones with flowers 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 fruit 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!
