Learn Dutch: Weather – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Pair by pair, your child brings order here. On one side wait the sunshine, rain and snow as pictures; on the other, their Dutch names. Your child reads the Dutch vocabulary, thinks about which word fits which drawing, and draws a line between them. This calm joining task firms up Dutch vocabulary, because your child keeps bringing the written word together with the right picture. Nothing has to be searched for or spelled — reading and matching are the heart of it, and that makes first steps into Dutch especially light. Let your child puzzle in peace, with no rush and no contest. You can print the match for free or open it online to play, as often as your child likes.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the sunshine, rain and snow 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 spring things and the ones with vegetables 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 weather 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!
