Learn German: Pets – 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 cats, dogs and rabbits 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.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the pets with their German names. Your child reads the words, thinks, and draws a line between picture and word. This calm joining task firms up German vocabulary, because the written word keeps coming together with the right picture. Let your child puzzle in peace, with no pace and no score. You can print the match for free or open it online with your child to play, as often as the urge to connect returns. 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 action words and the ones with birds 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 pets 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!
