Learn Swedish: Zoo Animals – Picture-Word Match for Kids

This match brings pictures and Swedish words together. Your child sees the lions, zebras and giraffes 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.

Which Swedish word goes with which picture? Your child joins the matching pairs: they study the lions, zebras and giraffes, 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 instruments and the ones with shapes 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 zoo animals 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!
