Bilingual story cards

Ignite imagination and improve literacy with our bilingual story cards for tamariki. Each card in the pack has an image and the word in te reo Māori and English. What a great way to learn and practise your te Reo! Players use their cards to create a story together. Play alone or with a group of any size. Work together to support players who feel less confident. There’s no winner, and there’s no right or wrong! This game celebrates creativity and improvisation – all ideas are welcome. Story cards are available at libraries for $19.
