Learn Portuguese: Reptiles and Amphibians – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Read, think, connect — that is the whole idea of this Portuguese picture-word match. Your child studies the frogs, snakes and turtles 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.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the frogs, snakes and turtles as pictures and a selection of Portuguese words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Portuguese word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Portuguese 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 Portuguese vocabulary piece by piece. 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 vegetables and the ones with accessories 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 reptiles 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!
