Learn German: Animals – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and German words together. Your child sees the cats, sheep and hens and, beside them, a colourful set of German names still looking for their partners. They read the German vocabulary, compare it with the drawings, and link each picture with the right line. In doing so your child practises connecting the written German 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 German word matched correctly.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the cats, sheep and hens as pictures and a selection of German words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching German word. So they gently practise recognizing the written German 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 German vocabulary piece by piece. 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 flowers and the ones with kitchen tools 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 animals 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!
