Learn Swedish: Thanksgiving – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Swedish words together. Your child sees the turkeys, pumpkins and pies 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.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Swedish word. The turkeys, pumpkins and pies stand ready as pictures, with their Swedish names beside them. Your child reads, thinks, and draws a line to the right word. So they learn to connect a picture with its written Swedish name — no pressure, at their own pace, with no score. Because nothing has to be written, reading and recognizing take centre stage, and that is just what makes first steps into Swedish so light and welcome for your child. 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 farm animals and the ones with bugs 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 Thanksgiving things 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!
