Activity 1 

Learning intention

Ākonga will revise the names of foods mentioned in the previous units. 

Watch: Unit 19 Scene 1: Making a market date 

Hand out a copy of Unit 19 worksheet a to ākonga and ask them to complete the word find. Explain to them that the names of foods have all been mentioned in previous clips. Encourage them to look through the clips or the units to find the words. 

Activity 2 

Learning intention

Ākonga will learn how to compliment someone. 

Watch: Unit 19 Scene 2: Wandering around the market 

Write on the board the following sentences and ask ākonga to copy them into their Wehi books: 

He kaha taku (kuia) ki te (raranga pōtae).	My (grandmother) is great at (weaving hats).
He kaha taku (kuia) ki te (raranga whāriki).	My (grandmother) is great at (weaving mats).
He kaha taku (kuia) ki te (raranga pōtae) me te (raranga whāriki).	My (grandmother) is great at (weaving hats and mats).

By now they have learnt the words in te reo Māori:  

• whaea (mother)
• matua (father) 
• kuia (grandmother)
• koro (grandfather) 
• tungāne (brother of a female)
• tuahine (sister of a male)
• hoa (friend) 

Ask ākonga to write  three sentences in their Wehi books to describe the qualities or abilities of one of the above people. When they have finished, swap their book with a friend to check for accuracy. 

Activity 3 

Learning intention

Ākonga will practise how to ask someone else what they would like to eat. 

Watch:  Unit 19 Scene 3: What should we eat? 

In this video, Sione asks his friends what they would like to eat. 

Card game 

Organise the class into groups of six. Give each group a copy of Unit 19 teacher sheet a and two copies of Unit 19 teacher sheet b (photocopied onto light card). Ākonga need to colour in and cut out the pictures. These are their playing cards. Unit 19 teacher sheet A shows te reo Māori names of the food and their English meaning. Refer to this sheet until you know all te reo Māori names of each food item. 

When playing the game ākonga practise the following question and answer: 

• Question: He aha māu? (What will you have?)
• Answer: He panana (A banana). The ākonga will say what is on the card they pick up.

How to play the game: 

1. Place all the cards (two packs) face down on the table between the players. 
2. Player 1 says to the player on their left, "He aha māu?" 
3. Player 2 (the player on Player 1's left) turns over the top card looking at the picture (banana), and gives the appropriate response in te reo Māori, "He panana." 
4. The six players continue playing until they know all the food names in te reo Māori and are confident using the question and answer format to ask someone what they would like to eat. 

When ākonga are confident to handle more language to answer the question "He aha māu?", they could pick up two cards instead of one: for example,  

• if they picked up tīhi (cheese), and kānga (corn), they would respond, "He tīhi me te kānga." (cheese and corn). 
• if they picked up ika (fish), and parāoa (bread), they would say, "He ika me te paraoa." (fish and bread). 

Activity 4 

Learning intention

Ākonga will ask their friends about their favourite food. 

Ask ākonga, in pairs, to ask ten people about their favourite food: 

• He aha te kai tino reka ki a koe? (What is your favourite food?)

They should record the name of the food in the left column and the name of the ākonga in the right column of Unit 19 worksheet b. When they have finished recording the information, they should report to the rest of the class. 

Use this sentence:

Ko te kai tino reka ki te rōpū nei, ko te ...

The favourite food for this group is ...

 

Watch: He kōrero whakamārama: Kīwaha: tino kino te reka 

This video explains the idiom, Tino kino te reka! (The food is wickedly delicious!).
