Learn Dutch: Community Helpers – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Dutch word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the chefs, nurses and pilots as drawings; opposite them their Dutch names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Dutch vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the Dutch name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Dutch vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching Dutch word.

Which Dutch word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the chefs, nurses and pilots, 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 flowers and the ones with kitchen tools 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 community helpers 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!
