Learn Finnish: Body Parts – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Finnish words together. Your child sees the hands, feet and ears and, beside them, a colourful set of Finnish names still looking for their partners. They read the Finnish vocabulary, compare it with the drawings, and link each picture with the right line. In doing so your child practises connecting the written Finnish word to what it shows — a gentle bridge into the new language. Because no word has to be written, it is all reading and recognizing, with no stress at all. Let your child work at their own pace and reconsider as often as they wish. There is no timer and no score, only your child, the pictures, and the pleasure of every Finnish word matched correctly.

Which Finnish name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the hands, feet and ears, read the Finnish words, and join each drawing to the right one. So they learn along the way how Finnish names look in writing. A line may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when every connection is in place. Until then your child may read and think entirely in their own rhythm, because here there is neither a clock nor a single right pace to keep. Finnish builds long words by clicking small pieces together, a bit like adding cars to a train.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the tools and the ones with zoo animals hold fresh pictures and new Finnish words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the body parts is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Finnish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
