Pakiaka | Te Reo Māori Word Game

$60.00

Pakiaka is a fun and educational word game in te reo Māori which encourages players to challenge and improve their Māori vocab knowledge. Pakiaka is a game of speed - the aim is to finish your crossword grid first, but accuracy is just as important to ensure you get as many points as possible. There are extra challenges available, as well as play variations, to give players options depending on what type of game is desired. Pakiaka is a great whānau game where adults and tamariki can play together.

Awesome way to begin Reo journey

This game is an awesome way to begin one's reo Māori journey. My partner and I have limited reo Māori vocabulary, but find this game a very fun, easy way to pick up new vocabulary. We can't wait to play it with our tamariki when they're a little older. Great for any age.

This has been a fun way for kupu building with our senior Te Reo Māori classes. A great resource. Ngā mihi

A great kēmu Māori for all levels!

I purchased Pakiaka for an activity for our Ruapehu REAP kaimahi to do while away on a strategic planning haerenga. Pakiaka is a game for all levels of reo and is a great game to get your mind thinking, especially around trying to use of the vowels with a tohutō and making sure all your kupu is tika.
As part of our mahi in the community, we deliver weekly Te reo Māori classes at a beginner and intermediate level, we will definitely be purchasing a set for us to use in the akomanga as we're sure our tauira will love it just as much as we do!

SO AWESOME

I brought one set for my whare and my sisters whare, such an awesome kēmu to play with any age and with all different levels of reo māori.

Kēmu helps build our reo and encourages us to question our selfs and correct our own reo 🤎
