Learn Swedish: Clothes – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the shirts, socks and hats as pictures and, beside them, a selection of Swedish words. The task: read the Swedish vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Swedish name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written Swedish word to the thing they already know. Because no Swedish word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning Swedish. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the Swedish words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Which Swedish name goes with which picture? Your child answers with a single line: they look at the shirts, socks and hats, read the Swedish words, and join each drawing to the right one. So they learn along the way how Swedish names look in writing. A line may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when every connection is in place. Until then your child may read and think entirely in their own rhythm, because here there is neither a clock nor a single right pace to keep. 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 vehicles and the ones with action words 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 clothes 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!
