Printable Visual Routine Chart System | Starter Pack

Our reo Māori Visual Routine Chart System Starter Pack has been thoughtfully designed to help whānau bring more te reo Māori into everyday life through a practical, engaging and visual daily routine chart system. The cards and charts focus on the regular tasks tamariki move through each day, such as getting ready for the day, kai time, school-day routines, play, and winding down for the evening.
