Learn Swedish: Farm 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 cows, pigs and goats 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.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the cows, pigs and goats 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 accessories and the ones with beach 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 farm 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!
