Learn Swedish: Desserts and Sweets – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Read, think, connect — that is the whole idea of this Swedish picture-word match. Your child studies the cupcakes, lollipops and pies and reads the Swedish words offered beside them. Then they draw a line from each picture to the matching word. This task trains recognition of written Swedish words, because your child has to read the name and join it to the right picture. It is an especially friendly way to practise early Swedish, since nothing has to be spelled and nothing has to be searched for. Take your time together; what matters here is the calm, happy joining. When a clean line runs from every picture to the correct Swedish word, your child can look proudly at the match they finished all on their own.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the cupcakes, lollipops and pies as pictures and a selection of Swedish words beside them. They read the vocabulary, decide which name belongs, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Swedish word. So they gently practise recognizing the written Swedish word. It is a quiet task — free to print or to play online. A line may always be drawn again, because here all that matters is the easy thinking with which your child builds Swedish vocabulary piece by piece. 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 winter things and the ones with household 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 sweet treats 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!
