Learn German: Reptiles and Amphibians – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which German word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the frogs, snakes and turtles as drawings; opposite them their German names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the German vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the German name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their German vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching German word.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right German word. The frogs, snakes and turtles stand ready as pictures, with their German names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written German name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into German so light and welcome for your child. 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 household things and the ones with body parts 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 reptiles 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!
