Learn Finnish: Colors – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Finnish word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the reds, blues and greens as drawings; opposite them their Finnish names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Finnish 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 Finnish name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Finnish 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 Finnish word.

Which Finnish name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the reds, blues and greens, 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 zoo animals and the ones with supermarket things 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 colors 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!
