Rauemi – Resources

Overview

Here you will find more information, resources and ideas of how to honour te Ao Māori and practice your reo on session and at home.

Tākaro Rauemi - Play Resources

These learning resources reflect Māori culture and can be used to help kaiako integrate a Māori perspective into different play areas. Tamariki exploring and participating in cultural customs and waiata and using natural resources in their play is beneficial to their learning and development.

Te Reo Māori Rauemi - Language Resources

Here you can find a growing collection of resources to support your journey with learning te reo Māori that can add value to your Playcentre sessions.

Waiata - Songs

This Playcentre waiata playlist is taonga full of joy, warmth, and connection. It beautifully weaves te reo Māori, tikanga, and play-based learning. It creates moments where tamariki, whānau, and kaiako can sing, move, and learn together. Each waiata strengthens confidence in te reo, builds a sense of belonging, and brings the Playcentre space alive with aroha and laughter. A powerful example of bicultural practice in action.
