Listen-and-draw 1

Facilitate a listen-and-draw task to help the students consolidate their sports-related vocabulary (as well as the language of instruction). Get them to draw empty 3 x 3 grids with nine numbered tapawhā (squares). Tell them where, on that grid, to draw particular items, for example:

E piki ki runga, kia rua ngā tapawhā. Go up two squares.
Tuhia he tokena. Draw a sock/some socks.

Tuhia he mātiratira. Draw a net.
Whakahokia ki te tapawhā tuatahi. Return to the first square.
