Learn Dutch: Hospital Things – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Dutch name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the beds, bandages and stethoscopes, read the Dutch words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Dutch names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Dutch word and the whole match is complete.

This match brings pictures and Dutch words together. Your child sees the beds, bandages and stethoscopes and the Dutch names beside them, each looking for its partner. They read, compare, and link each picture with the right line. So a gentle bridge into Dutch appears. Because nothing has to be written, it is all reading and recognizing — at their own pace, with no stress. Let your child reconsider as often as they like, until a clean line runs from every picture to the matching Dutch word. 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 sweet treats and the ones with fruit 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 hospital things 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!
