Learn Dutch: Summer – 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 sunshine, ice creams and beach balls 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.

This match brings pictures and Dutch words together. Your child sees the sunshine, ice creams and beach balls 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 community helpers and the ones with space things 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 summer 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!
