Te Reo Māori Colours Ngā Tae | Colour Matching Cards and Activities

Help children practise Ngā Tae / Māori colour words with hands-on te reo Māori activities that are fun, reusable, and easy to teach.

This printable Māori Colours resource includes bingo, matching cards, snap cards, clip cards, posters, colouring worksheets, colour-by-code activities, and written follow-up work. Children practise reading, recognising, matching, saying, and using Māori colour vocabulary through repeated, playful activities rather than a single worksheet.

Children practise colour words including pango/mangu, kōwhai, kahurangi/kikorangi, mā, paraone/parauri, kākāriki, karaka, whero, hiriwā/kiwikiwi, and māwhero.

This resource is ideal for New Zealand classrooms, te reo Māori lessons, junior primary, Montessori language shelves, homeschool, small group rotations, relief teacher activities, and independent vocabulary practice.
