Instructions

Create two lines, so tamariki are sitting facing each other in pairs with their feet touching – with about 30cm between each pair in the line – so that tamariki can jump between them. Each line is a team.

Assign each pair the name of a fruit in te reo (assigning two pairs the same fruit, if needed): Āporo (apple), Panana (banana), Paināporo (pineapple), Huakiwi (kiwifruit), Ārani (orange), Rēmana (lemon), Kerepe (grape), Rōpere (strawberry), Rahipere (raspberry).

When you call the name of a fruit, the pairs assigned that name must stand up and jump over the legs of each of the pairs to their right until they get to the end, where they’ll race around the outside of the students to the beginning of the line, so they can jump over all remaining pairs, to get back to their spot. Whichever person sits first wins a point for their team (line).

After each go, ask what the te reo and English names for that fruit are, to help embed the learning.
