Learn Portuguese: Activities – Picture-Word Match for Kids

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Portuguese word, simply by drawing a line from the picture to its name. On one side are the running, jumping and swimming as pictures; on the other are the Portuguese words that go with them. Your child looks at a drawing, reads through the Portuguese vocabulary, and decides which name belongs to it. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Portuguese name — a soft, happy first step into the language. There is nothing to spell and nothing to search for, only reading, thinking, and joining. Let your child work at their own pace: no timer and no score, just one picture at a time matched to the right Portuguese word with a single line.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the action words with their Portuguese names. Your child reads the words, thinks, and draws a line between picture and word. This calm joining task firms up Portuguese 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. 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 breakfast foods and the ones with sweet treats 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 action words 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!
