Learn German: Activities – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Picture and word become a pair here: your child links the running, jumping and swimming with their German names. They read the German vocabulary calmly, match the right word to each picture, and draw a line between them. So their German 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 German 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 German word.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the running, jumping and swimming and reads the German words beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. That trains recognition of written German words, with no writing at all. Take your time together — what counts is the happy joining, with no clock and no contest. With every pair matched, the look of the German word grows more familiar, and your child moves step by step toward reading their first German vocabulary. Here is something special about German: it gives every naming word a capital letter, even a small cat or a ball.

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