A super-fun, hands-on activity for students learning to read the first 350 high frequency Māori words. Read the word on the kūmara chip and feed it through the hole in the mouth of the taniwha. Included: ♦ 350 kūmara chips - coloured ♦ 350 kūmara chips – black/white ♦ Chip templates (add extra words if necessary) – coloured & black/white. ♦ Taniwha – black/white for your students to decorate and personalise. ♦ Taniwha – 4 different coloured options ♦ Teacher notes Please click on the ‘Look inside’ button above to see examples. Activity Suggestions: ♦ Place the kūmara chips into a container. Students draw one out and read the word aloud. If they read it correctly, they feed it through the mouth of the taniwha. If not, they put the chip back into the container. ♦ Place the kūmara chips on the table/floor. The teacher says ‘find the word _____ and feed it to your taniwha’. This could be a race between a small group of students, or they could each have a word to find and feed. Preparation: ♦ Laminate the taniwha. Cut a hole in the mouth where indicated (to feed the chips through). It is suggested that you attach the laminated taniwha to a 2-litre ice-cream container so that it stands up. This will also give the chips something to fall into. ♦ Print the chips with the words that you would like to use. Laminate and cut. Place into a container (or something like a chip carton from a fast food outlet). Designed on A4 size paper. 14 kūmara chips on each page. ********************************************************************** © Suzanne Welch Teaching Resources
