Every night we play wharewhare (bingo) and headbands to strengthen our reo. Are their any other reo Māori board games? Or board games that could be easily converted to reo Māori? I am going to buy guess who for Xmas but change it into te reo 😅

We are coming up to bring in our whare for 1 year! We have had so many family and friends stay with us, we have grown beautiful kai and flowers, we have had parties, snuggled by the fire and played many games of cricket. So grateful to have a space where me and my boys can grow in 🙏🏼🙌🏼
