Learn German: Bakery Treats – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Read, think, connect — that is the whole idea of this German picture-word match. Your child studies the bagels, buns and cakes and reads the German words offered beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. This task trains recognition of written German words, because your child has to read the name and join it to the right picture. It is an especially friendly way to practise early German, since nothing has to be spelled and nothing has to be searched for. Take your time together; what matters here is the calm, happy joining. When a clean line runs from every picture to the correct German word, your child can look proudly at the match they finished all on their own.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the bagels, buns and cakes 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 furniture and the ones with sea creatures 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 bakery treats 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!
