Numbers

I've used these to play 4 corners and and Amoeba. Numbers are from: http://classroomclipart.blogspot.com/p/maori.html

4 corners: https://www.wikihow.com/Play-Four-Corners

Amoeba: Find an open space for all ākonga to play. Call out a number in te reo and hold up the card — this is how many people should be in a group. For example, if the number ono (six is) called out, players must get into groups of ono as fast as they can and then touch the ground. Whoever is left once all the groups are formed is out of the game. Continue until there is only one person left.

Introduction to te reo activity

Prep: Cut and laminate the cards.

Activity: As a pair, you will be given one word in Te Reo to teach the rest of the class. You will have 5 minutes to come up with an interesting/creative way to teach us. The catch! You may NOT simply tell us the definition. The words are all associated with school, so look around you; what things could you use in the environment to help?

Example: kinipepa

I have all this loose paper. Does anyone have a kinipepa I can use?

I used these slides to have students start working on their visual pepeha and gave mine as an example. The goal was to get students to find photos that they will be able to use for when they actually write their pepeha.

Visual Pepeha Assignment

I loaded this into my students' Google Classroom. The instructions are on the first slide. My thinking is finding the photos allows them to learn the idea and format of a pepeha. Then they can focus on learning the te reo afterwards.
