Learn Swedish: Things That Fly – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Here it is all reading and connecting. Your child sees the kites, planes and balloons 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.

Pair by pair, your child brings order: they match the flying things 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 flowers and the ones with kitchen tools 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 flying 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!
