Activity 2: Pair work

  • In pairs, one person will act out a place name and the other person tries to guess what the place name is by using the answers from Activity 1.
  • When the partner guesses the correct place name the pairs swap roles.
  • Continue with this activity until 5 - 8 place names have been role played.

Ngohe 2: Mahi takirua

  • Ko tētahi o ngā takirua he kaiwhakaari, ko tētahi atu o ngā takirua he kaimātakitaki.
  • Kaiwhakaari − Whakamahia te reo ā-tinana, ā-ringa hoki hei whakaari atu i tētahi o ngā ingoa wāhi mai i ngā whakautu o te Ngohe 1.
  • Kaimātakitaki − Me mātakitaki i te kaiwhakaari, ka kimi i te wāhi tika.

Inā kimi te kaimātakitaki i te kupu tika, ka huri te kaiwhakaari hei kaimātakitaki. Me haere pēnei tonu ngā mahi, kia oti ai i te takirua kia rima ki te waru ngā kupu wāhi.

Activity 4: Letter writing

Write a letter to the author of Te matamata. Ask questions about the things you would like to know about in the story. There are two examples of possible beginnings below.

Ngohe 4: Te tuhi reta

Tuhia he reta ki te kaituhi o ngā kōrero Te matamata. Pātai atu ki a ia mō ngā mea e hiahia ana koe ki te mōhio e pā ana ki āna kōrero.

Anei ētahi kōrero me ētahi whakaaro hei tīmatanga:

Tēnā koe e te whaea,

Kāore au i te tino mōhio ki ngā kōrero mō Te matamata. Nō reira, he aha te matamata? Ki tōku whakaaro, he momo ika tērā?

Tēnā koe e te kaituhi,

E pīrangi ana au ki te mōhio nō whea ngā kōrero nei? Ā, kei whea te wāhi i runga i tētahi mahere whenua o Aotearoa?
