Learn German: Household Things – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the lamps, chairs and clocks as pictures and, beside them, a selection of German words. The task: read the German vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching German name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written German word to the thing they already know. Because no German word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning German. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the German words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Which German name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the lamps, chairs and clocks, read the German words, and join each drawing to the right one. So they learn along the way how German 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. 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 forest creatures and the ones with instruments 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 household things 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!
