Learn Swedish: Forest Creatures – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Swedish words together. Your child sees the foxes, deer and hedgehogs and, beside them, a colourful set of Swedish names still looking for their partners. They read the Swedish vocabulary, compare it with the drawings, and link each picture with the right line. In doing so your child practises connecting the written Swedish word to what it shows — a gentle bridge into the new language. Because no word has to be written, it is all reading and recognizing, with no stress at all. Let your child work at their own pace and reconsider as often as they wish. There is no timer and no score, only your child, the pictures, and the pleasure of every Swedish word matched correctly.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the foxes, deer and hedgehogs 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 animals and the ones with birds 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 forest creatures 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!
