Wero Mai, A Maori Board Game
Want to learn more Te Reo Maori? Love board games? Want to get the kids off electronic devices and interacting with the family or with their friends?
Well, WERO MAI is a MAORI BOARD GAME for beginner Te Reo Maori Learners.
Wero Mai is a Young Enterprise business that has created a Maori board game to educate kiwis on Maori language and culture. The game is an interactive tool that allows for beginner Te Reo Maori learners to learn basic vocabulary in a fun social way. Only 3.7% of kiwis speak fluent Te Reo Maori and Wero Mai values kaitiakitanga and wants the language to be sustained as it is one of New Zealand’s three official languages.
Wero Mai is a bilingual flashcard game that can be played individually or in teams. The game covers a range of topics such as months, days, numbers, wildlife, Maori culture and NZ places. The game is filled with challenges like our Taniwha, which maximises learning and involvement from all players! The question based game brings families and friends together, off electronic devices and allows for players to learn more about Maori language and culture.

⚠️ DOGS DIE IN HOT CARS. If you love them, don't leave them. ⚠️
It's a message we share time and time again, and this year, we're calling on you to help us spread that message further.
Did you know that calls to SPCA about dogs left inside hot cars made up a whopping 11% of all welfare calls last summer? This is a completely preventable issue, and one which is causing hundreds of dogs (often loved pets) to suffer.
Here are some quick facts to share with the dog owners in your life:
👉 The temperature inside a car can heat to over 50°C in less than 15 minutes.
👉 Parking in the shade and cracking windows does little to help on a warm day. Dogs rely on panting to keep cool, which they can't do in a hot car.
👉 This puts dogs at a high risk of heatstroke - a serious condition for dogs, with a mortality rate between 39%-50%.
👉 It is an offence under the Animal Welfare Act to leave a dog in a hot vehicle if they are showing signs of heat stress. You can be fined, and prosecuted.
SPCA has created downloadable resources to help you spread the message even further. Posters, a flyer, and a social media tile can be downloaded from our website here: www.spca.nz...
We encourage you to use these - and ask your local businesses to display the posters if they can. Flyers can be kept in your car and handed out as needed.
This is a community problem, and one we cannot solve alone. Help us to prevent more tragedies this summer by sharing this post.
On behalf of the animals - thank you ❤️
Worst Xmas ever?
There's a a lot of planning that goes into Christmas day and sometimes things just don't go to plan. But it can be a good thing - a family mishap or hilarious memory that you can laugh about in Christmases to come.
