Learn Swedish: Pets – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the cats, dogs and rabbits as pictures and, beside them, a selection of Swedish words. The task: read the Swedish vocabulary, work out which word goes with which picture, and draw a line from the picture to the matching Swedish name. In this way your child gently practises tying the written Swedish word to the thing they already know. Because no Swedish word has to be written out, the focus rests entirely on reading and recognizing — ideal for first steps in learning Swedish. It is a quiet task with no contest and no clock. Free to print or to play online, so your child can match the Swedish words as often as they like, until every line is in place.

Read, think, connect: your child studies the cats, dogs and rabbits 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 camping gear and the ones with feelings 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 pets 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!
