Learn Portuguese: Things That Fly – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the kites, planes and balloons as pictures and, beside them, a selection of Portuguese words. The task: read the Portuguese vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Portuguese name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written Portuguese word to the thing they already know. Because no Portuguese word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning Portuguese. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the Portuguese words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the kites, planes and balloons 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 accessories and the ones with beach things 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 flying things 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!
