Learn German: Fruits – Picture-Word Match for Kids

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right German word, simply by drawing a line from the picture to its name. On one side are the apples, bananas and pears as pictures; on the other are the German words that go with them. Your child looks at a drawing, reads through the German vocabulary, and decides which name belongs to it. So they learn to connect a picture with its written German name — a soft, happy first step into the language. There is nothing to spell and nothing to search for, only reading, thinking, and joining. Let your child work at their own pace: no timer and no score, just one picture at a time matched to the right German word with a single line.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the apples, bananas and pears 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 toys and the ones with Fourth of July things 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 fruit 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!
