Flashcards
Resource sheet 5.1 provides images for a sports-related set of flashcards, together with illustrations of a doctor, a nurse, a dentist, and some medicine. To introduce the sports-related vocabulary, use the sports-related flashcards. For example, show the picture of the swimmer and ask:
| Maori vocabulary | English translation |
|---|---|
| He kaihīkoi? He kaikauhoe? | A tramper? A swimmer? |
or (more challenging)
| Maori vocabulary | English translation |
|---|---|
| He kaihīkoi, he kaikauhoe rānei? | A tramper or a swimmer? |
or (even more challenging)
| Maori vocabulary | English translation |
|---|---|
| He kaihīkoi tēnei, he kaikauhoe rānei? | Is this a tramper or a swimmer? |
Language tips
- The prefix “kai-” is useful for describing someone’s job or role. It means “a person who ...”.
- Notice that “rānei” (“or”) comes after two choices.
