Learn Spanish: Colors – 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 reds, blues and greens 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.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Spanish word. The reds, blues and greens 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 animals and the ones with birds 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 colors 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!
