Game idea
Objective: Be the first to correctly name the tūpou based on the illustration-only flashcard set.
How to Play (2+ players or teams):
-
Place the illustration-only cards face down in a pile. For a longer game, print out multiple sets of the flashcards.
-
One player (or a kaiako) acts as the card flipper.
-
The card flipper flips the top card for all players or teams to see.
-
First player/team to call out the correct tūpou (e.g. tāua, mātou, rātou) wins the card. If guessed incorrectly, the opposing player/team has one opportunity to guess the correct term and win the card. If both are wrong, the card is added back to the bottom of the pile.
-
Play continues until all cards have been used.
-
Player or team with the most correct cards wins.
