Learn Swedish: Reptiles and Amphibians – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Read, think, connect — that is the whole idea of this Swedish picture-word match. Your child studies the frogs, snakes and turtles 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.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the reptiles with their Swedish names. Your child reads the words, thinks, and draws a line between picture and word. This calm joining task firms up Swedish vocabulary, because the written word keeps coming together with the right picture. Let your child puzzle in peace, with no pace and no score. You can print the match for free or open it online with your child to play, as often as the urge to connect returns. 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 clothes and the ones with flowers 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 reptiles 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!
