Learn Dutch: Thanksgiving – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Picture and word become a pair here: your child links the turkeys, pumpkins and pies with their Dutch names. They read the Dutch vocabulary calmly, match the right word to each picture, and draw a line between them. So their Dutch vocabulary grows in the friendliest way, because your child recognizes the written words and ties them to things they already know. There is nothing to write — only reading, thinking, and joining, first Dutch made hands-on. The task keeps no pace and no score, just the cosy matching your child does in their own rhythm. You can print it for free or open it online to play together, until every line is in place and each picture has found its Dutch word.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the turkeys, pumpkins and pies as pictures and a selection of Dutch words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Dutch word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Dutch word. It is a quiet task — free to print or to play online. A line may always be drawn again, because here all that matters is the easy thinking with which your child builds Dutch vocabulary piece by piece. 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 sea creatures and the ones with spring 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 Thanksgiving 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!
