Learn Italian: Clothes – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Italian word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the shirts, socks and hats as drawings; opposite them their Italian names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Italian 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 Italian name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Italian 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 Italian word.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the shirts, socks and hats as pictures and a selection of Italian words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Italian word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Italian word. It is a quiet task — free to print or to play online. A line may always be drawn again, because here all that matters is the easy thinking with which your child builds Italian vocabulary piece by piece. 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 Thanksgiving things and the ones with weather 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 clothes 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!
