Learn Dutch: Space – 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 rockets, planets and stars 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.

Which Dutch word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the rockets, planets and stars, 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 kitchen tools and the ones with reptiles 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 space 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!
