Explain to the students that this is the Māori version of the card game ‘Fish’.
Review the Māori numbers from two to nine, and introduce the Māori words for jack, king and queen. Have them get into groups of five students and give each group a copy of Resource sheet 2B: Ngā kāri (cards).
Distribute one pack of cards to each group and ask one student to deal five cards to each player. Tell the students to take turns asking other players in their group, ‘He __________ tāu?’
He kuini tāu?
Kāore. Kāore aku kuini.
Have you got a queen?
No. I haven’t got a queen.
If the answer is no, that student picks a card up from the centre. It is now the next player’s turn.
If the answer is yes, they win that card and form a pair, placing the pair in front of them. They can now ask another question, for example:
He toru tāu?
Āe.
Have you got a three?
Yes.
The students continue asking questions until all cards have been matched into pairs. The student with the most pairs wins.
If necessary, demonstrate the question by writing it on the board, leaving a space for the name of the card:
