Learn Swedish: Insects and Bugs – Picture-Word Match for Kids

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Swedish word, simply by drawing a line from the picture to its name. On one side are the ants, bees and ladybugs as pictures; on the other are the Swedish words that go with them. Your child looks at a drawing, reads through the Swedish vocabulary, and decides which name belongs to it. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Swedish name — a soft, happy first step into the language. There is nothing to spell and nothing to search for, only reading, thinking, and joining. Let your child work at their own pace: no timer and no score, just one picture at a time matched to the right Swedish word with a single line.

Read and connect, with nothing to search for: your child sees the ants, bees and ladybugs 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 beach things and the ones with classroom objects 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 bugs 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!
