Learn Spanish: Fourth of July Things – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Spanish word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the flags, stars and drums as drawings; opposite them their Spanish names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Spanish vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the Spanish name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Spanish vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching Spanish word.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the flags, stars and drums and reads the Spanish words beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. That trains recognition of written Spanish words, with no writing at all. Take your time together — what counts is the happy joining, with no clock and no contest. With every pair matched, the look of the Spanish word grows more familiar, and your child moves step by step toward reading their first Spanish vocabulary. One friendly thing about Spanish: the words are said almost exactly the way they are written.

Has your child had so much fun connecting? Then there is plenty more to discover! The matches about the space things and the ones with toys hold fresh pictures and new Spanish words looking for their partners. And once your child is in the swing of it, a whole free collection built around the Fourth of July things is ready to go — free to print or simply to play online. That way learning Spanish stays varied and gives a little fresh pleasure each day, all at your child’s own pace. Have fun reading, thinking, and connecting together!
