Learn German: Things That Fly – 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 kites, planes and balloons 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.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right German word. The kites, planes and balloons 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 body parts and the ones with colors 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 flying things 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!
