Ask students to learn the names and positions on the league field from pages 8–9 of the students' book. Copy the chart on page 12 of these notes and hand it out to the students. Ask them to match the correct Māori word to the correct English word for each position.

Whiriwhiria tētahi o ngā tūnga tākaro o te rīki, tētahi kupu hou rānei o roto i te kōrero, kātahi ka tuhi i tētahi ruri e hāngai ana ki te rīki, ki te hākinakina rānei, ā, ina tuituia ētahi o ngā pū o roto (hei tauira, te pū tuatahi pea o ia rārangi o te ruri) ka puta ake taua tūnga/kupu i kōwhiria rā e koe.
Identify one of the positions in the league team, or a new word within the text, and use it as the basis for an acrostic poem about league.
