Learn Portuguese: Zoo Animals – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Portuguese words together. Your child sees the lions, zebras and giraffes and, beside them, a colourful set of Portuguese names still looking for their partners. They read the Portuguese vocabulary, compare it with the drawings, and link each picture with the right line. In doing so your child practises connecting the written Portuguese word to what it shows — a gentle bridge into the new language. Because no word has to be written, it is all reading and recognizing, with no stress at all. Let your child work at their own pace and reconsider as often as they wish. There is no timer and no score, only your child, the pictures, and the pleasure of every Portuguese word matched correctly.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the zoo animals 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 birds and the ones with classroom objects 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 zoo animals 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!
