Learn German: Farm Animals – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the cows, pigs and goats 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.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the cows, pigs and goats 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 Thanksgiving things and the ones with weather 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 farm 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!
