This comprehensive educational resource includes 10 printable worksheets designed to help students learn and reinforce Polish vocabulary by matching words to pictures. Each worksheet covers a different category, essential for building foundational vocabulary. The topics included are parts of the face, parts of the body, countries, zoo animals, farm animals, pets, fruit, colours, numbers, and hobbies.
Each worksheet presents clear images and the corresponding vocabulary words in Polish, encouraging students to actively engage by matching each word to its picture. This hands-on approach helps solidify vocabulary recognition and pronunciation.

This resource is ideal for beginner-level students or anyone looking to practice and expand their Polish vocabulary in an enjoyable, visually supportive format.
I have been teaching Polish GCSE for more than 10 years. I have created a source of information as a booklet. The booklet includes speaking exam questions, topics which are important to revise before attempting the exam. It also includes grammar and spelling rules useful for all students. I have also included a glossary full of words that are essential for every student who is going to do Polish Higher or Foundation paper.
From my own experience I know that many students are not prepared for the exam enough to feel confident and ready. This is an opportunity for the students to practice some questions and revise many words.

This resource originated with another source - I with a Polish parent fixed some spelling mistakes.
I think made the notes I little nicer to share - sorry I don't know who created the original but I am sure they would want them shared.
The first page of each document is a contents page.
Going to be using this as part of a Polish day within our school. Starts with an intro to Polish phonics then covers colours, numbers to 10 and family members. Could be used as an alternative to French or just as EAL activity with newly arrived Polish children. Thought i would put it on here as there is a serious lack of Polish resources.
