Learn Spanish: Beach Things – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Pair by pair, your child brings order here. On one side wait the buckets, spades and starfish as pictures; on the other, their Spanish names. Your child reads the Spanish vocabulary, thinks about which word fits which drawing, and draws a line between them. This calm joining task firms up Spanish vocabulary, because your child keeps bringing the written word together with the right picture. Nothing has to be searched for or spelled — reading and matching are the heart of it, and that makes first steps into Spanish especially light. Let your child puzzle in peace, with no rush and no contest. You can print the match for free or open it online to play, as often as your child likes.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Spanish word. The buckets, spades and starfish stand ready as pictures, with their Spanish names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Spanish name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into Spanish so light and welcome for your child. 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 trees and the ones with Fourth of July things 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 beach 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!
