Learn Swedish: Weather – Picture-Word Match for Kids

Which Swedish word goes with which picture? That is what your child works out here, by joining the matching pairs. On one side stand the sunshine, rain and snow as drawings; opposite them their Swedish names, pleasantly jumbled. Your child reads the Swedish vocabulary, glances at the pictures, and then draws a line between a picture and its right word. With every connection they make, it sinks in a little more how the Swedish name of a familiar thing looks and sounds. So their Swedish vocabulary grows piece by piece, with no pressure and no rush. Let your child think and try in their own time; a line may always be drawn again. By the end, a line runs from every picture to the matching Swedish word.

In this picture-word match your child links each drawing to the right Swedish word. The sunshine, rain and snow 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 bugs and the ones with post 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 weather 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!
