Learn Portuguese: Accessories – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Read, think, connect — that is the whole idea of this Portuguese picture-word match. Your child studies the hats, belts and scarves and reads the Portuguese words offered beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. This task trains recognition of written Portuguese words, because your child has to read the name and join it to the right picture. It is an especially friendly way to practise early Portuguese, since nothing has to be spelled and nothing has to be searched for. Take your time together; what matters here is the calm, happy joining. When a clean line runs from every picture to the correct Portuguese word, your child can look proudly at the match they finished all on their own.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Portuguese word. The hats, belts and scarves stand ready as pictures, with their Portuguese 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 Portuguese 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 Portuguese so light and welcome for your child. Portuguese adds little marks to some letters, like the curly a in "ã", which gives the word a soft nasal sound.

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 Portuguese words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the accessories is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Portuguese stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
