Learn Swedish: Colors – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Swedish name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the reds, blues and greens, read the Swedish words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Swedish names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Swedish word and the whole match is complete.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the reds, blues and greens and reads the Swedish words beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. That trains recognition of written Swedish 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 Swedish word grows more familiar, and your child moves step by step toward reading their first Swedish vocabulary. 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 weather and the ones with animals 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 colors 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!
