Kia ora, kei ngā tamariki! Kei te kimi rānei koe i ētahi kēmu pārekareka i roto i te reo Māori hei tākaro tahi me tō whānau, me ō hoa? Nā, kua waimarie koe! Kia tirohia e tātou ētahi kēmu!
Pakiaka
Whakaarohia ngā Bananagrams i roto i te reo Māori. He kēmu a Pakiaka hei whakapātari, hei whakawhānui hoki i tō puna kupu. Ko te whāinga, ko te waihanga i ētahi kupu mā te whakamahi i ngā papa pū, ka mutu, kia pārekareka aua mahi rā.
Kaupapa
He kēmu ā-tīma, he kēmu whakaihiihi e matapaki ai koe i te maha o ngā kupu e taea ana i roto i tētahi meneti kotahi! Kei te maha o ngā kupu ka matapakina e koe te tere o tō koke i runga i te papa. Heoi anō, arā ōna āhuatanga hei whakararu i a koe! I a koe e koke ana, ka tau atu koe ki ngā wero a Māui e wana ake ai te kēmu. Ko te tīma ka toa, ko tērā ka tae tuatahi atu ki te wāhi TOA!
Tākaro
He kēmu urutau te kēmu Tākaro e taea nei te purei e ērā e tīmata ana ki te ako i te reo, tae noa atu ki ērā e matatau ana ki te reo. Ehara i te mea ko te whakawhānui i tō puna kupu anake te hua, engari ko te whakapakari hoki i ō pūkenga maumahara.
Nō reira, hei te pō whakangahau e tū mai nei, whakaurua he kēmu reo Māori, pēnei i a Pakiaka, i a Kaupapa, i a Tākaro rānei.
Kia kaha te reo Māori!
