Flashcards
To start introducing whānau-related vocabulary, show the students flashcards featuring pictures of people in a family. Use resource sheet 1.1 to make up the flashcards. For example, you could hold up the picture of a woman and offer the students two choices:
| He kōtiro? (A girl?) He wahine? (A woman?) |
To make this a little more difficult, you could say:
| He kōtiro? (A girl?) He wahine rānei? (Or a woman?) |
For students achieving at an even more advanced level, you could ask:
| He kōtiro tēnei? He wahine rānei? (Is this a girl? Or a woman?) |
Language tip
Notice that the word for “or”, “rānei”, comes after the two choices.
