Little Dictionary, Big Words! Make Your Russian Word Book
One of the best ways to remember new Russian words is to make your own word book! It’s a creative, hands-on way for kids to collect vocabulary while having fun. Best of all? It’s theirs to keep and build over time.
What Is a Word Book?
A word book is like a tiny dictionary your child creates. They write down new Russian words they learn, add pictures or stickers, and even include pronunciation tips. It’s a great tool for review and discovery.
What to Include
Start with simple categories:
- Colors: красный (krasnyy – red), зелёный (zelyonyy – green)
- Animals: кот (kot – cat), собака (sobaka – dog)
- Family: мама (mama – mom), папа (papa – dad)
Let your child choose words they like—this makes learning personal and exciting.
Dinolingo helps kids aged 2–14 discover hundreds of Russian words through games, songs, and animated stories. They can collect the ones they love most into their word book!
Creative Activities to Try
Design Your Word Book
Use a small notebook or staple paper together to make a booklet. Decorate the cover with your name in Russian!
Illustrate Each Word
Next to every word, draw a picture or use stickers to help remember what it means.
Making a Russian word book gives kids ownership of their learning and shows how big a “little” dictionary can be!
