Learn Swedish: Shapes – 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 circles, squares and triangles 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, think, connect: your child studies the circles, squares and triangles 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 colors and the ones with forest creatures 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 shapes 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!
