Te reo classroom phrases, printables by the dozens and fun Māori games, activities and resources are all available in this bundle. This will help with your planning for next year.
I’m super excited to offer this te reo Māori teaching resource bundle based around our Level one curriculum guidelines-
Te Aho Arataki Marau mō te Ako i Te Reo Māori – Kura Auraki which can be viewed online.
It is part of our New Zealand Code of Professional Responsibility and Standards for the Teaching Profession, that all teachers practise and develop the use of te reo and tikanga Māori.
Most importantly- at this time all of my products have a full school licence. This means that your whole school can use this resource.

Introducing yourself in te reo Māori
We have used the neutral form of “taku” (my) in this resource. This aligns with “He Reo Tupu, He Reo Ora” teaching resource put out by the Ministry of Education.
Learning Intentions:
• recognise, understand, and use familiar words about ourselves and our whānau
• recognise, understand, and use short phrases about ourselves and our whānau
• ask and answer simple questions about another person’s whānau
• use ordinal numbers to tell my or someone else’s place in the whānau
• ask and answer a question about my or someone else’s age
There are plenty of activities and support materials in this pack. The variety means that you can use it at different levels of the school.
Kupu o te rā has some other words to support you if you want the names for other members of your whānau.
Learning the date in te reo Māori
*Communicate about numbers, using days of the week, months and dates
This te reo Māori Maramataka (calendar) resource will be so helpful. For the whole school, all learners can benefit in some way. Includes:
*both sets of Days of the Week with posters explaining the meanings behind the Māori Language Commission names
(Did you know Rāhina was named after Māhina the moon?).
Here on “Kupu o te rā” you hear soundbites for these days if you need help with pronunciation.
*Ordinal numbers-How to say the 1st, 2nd etc.
*How to give the full date
*How to ask “When is your birthday?”
*Fantastic mini book with all these facts as a reference. Older learners can make activities (word search, games puzzles etc) to teach others.
Maramataka is black and white so you can colour code the days, months and numbers to suit.
BRIGHT POSTERS. Packed with so much learning at any level!!
How to Write a Pepeha
Writing a pepeha can be a little confusing for learners. This te reo Maori resource has visuals and explanations to help with the understanding of a pepeha.
Bright and engaging, this should make the process easier.
Locations in te reo Māori
*Communicate about location
This te reo resource was made to help teachers and learners simplify understanding “locations” or prepositions (Tūwāhi).
It incorporates speaking, reading, writing and fun activities.
Teachers’ instructions are in English and worksheets are in either te reo only or English.
Resource includes:
*Location posters (which can be made into a book)
*Word picture matching activities (In black and white-print on coloured paper)
*Self-correcting sentence making activity (In black and white-print on coloured paper)
