Learn Swedish: Animals – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Swedish word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the cats, sheep and hens as drawings; opposite them their Swedish names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Swedish 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 Swedish name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Swedish 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 Swedish word.

This match brings pictures and Swedish words together. Your child sees the cats, sheep and hens and the Swedish names beside them, each looking for its partner. They read, compare, and link each picture with the right line. So a gentle bridge into Swedish appears. Because nothing has to be written, it is all reading and recognizing — at their own pace, with no stress. Let your child reconsider as often as they like, until a clean line runs from every picture to the matching Swedish word. Swedish has three extra letters at the very end of its alphabet — a, a and o with little marks — that English does not use.

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