Learn Swedish: Tools – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Swedish name goes with which picture? Your child answers that with a single line. They look at the hammers, saws and wrenches, read the Swedish words on offer, and join each drawing to the right word. Along the way they learn how the Swedish names of familiar things look in writing, tying the picture to the written word. This kind of practice is quiet and friendly, because it is all about reading and matching — not about writing anything yourself. Let your child think as long as they need; a connection may be redrawn at any moment. The loveliest moment is when a line runs from every picture to its matching Swedish word and the whole match is complete.

Which Swedish word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the hammers, saws and wrenches, read the Swedish names, and draw a line from each picture to the right word. With every connection it sinks in how the Swedish name of a familiar thing looks. So their Swedish vocabulary grows step by step, with no rush and in real calm. Your child may think as long as they need, discovering in the friendliest way what the things they already know are called in Swedish. 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 forest creatures and the ones with instruments 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 tools 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!
