Learn Italian: Body Parts – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the hands, feet and ears as pictures and, beside them, a selection of Italian words. The task: read the Italian vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Italian name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written Italian word to the thing they already know. Because no Italian word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning Italian. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the Italian words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Which Italian name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the hands, feet and ears, read the Italian words, and join each drawing to the right one. So they learn along the way how Italian names look in writing. A line may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when every connection is in place. Until then your child may read and think entirely in their own rhythm, because here there is neither a clock nor a single right pace to keep. Italian has a musical sound, and many of its everyday words end in a bright -o or -a.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the reptiles and the ones with flying things hold fresh pictures and new Italian words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the body parts is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Italian stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
