Learn German: Weather – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the sunshine, rain and snow 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.

Which German word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the sunshine, rain and snow, read the German names, and draw a line from each picture to the right word. With every connection it sinks in how the German name of a familiar thing looks. So their German vocabulary grows step by step, with no rush and in real calm. Your child may think as long as they need, discovering in the friendliest way what the things they already know are called in German. 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 clothes and the ones with flowers 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 weather 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!
