What is a Whakatauki? A Proverb

After looking at how to make our writing more interesting using idioms we started to look at other sayings that are based on experience and truth. Wise words people like to share and live by. So I create a couple of activities to help students understand what they are and their meanings. Followed by how they can be used which is often in speech as that is how people share them.

Here is an example of what is included in the slides. Then as we were online learning due to the pandemic I was encouraged to make an early bird activity that involved a scavenger hunt. Next came Te Wiki o te Reo Maori (Maori Language Week) and I enjoy learning different Whakatauki (Maori Proverbs), and we are now scavenging for the meaning of Maori Proverbs.
