Learn Italian: Feelings – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Italian name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the smiling, sad and surprised faces, read the Italian words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Italian names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Italian word and the whole match is complete.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the feelings with their Italian names. Your child reads the words, thinks, and draws a line between picture and word. This calm joining task firms up Italian vocabulary, because the written word keeps coming together with the right picture. Let your child puzzle in peace, with no pace and no score. You can print the match for free or open it online with your child to play, as often as the urge to connect returns. 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 vegetables and the ones with accessories 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 feelings 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!
