Love this game! It has helped me with my reo journey and it's fun to play with the kids.
Explore the outdoors with Tākaro! Into the Wild
From ngeru to kiwi - animals, birds, and the natural world of Aotearoa in te reo Māori. A favourite for kids who love creatures, and a great way to connect language learning with the world outside. Learn more Te Reo so you can korero about our beautiful ngāi kīrehe (fauna) & ngāi tipu (flora).
Each card displays a selection of symbols, each with a direct Māori translation that players will learn and memorise.
During play, players flip over two cards and race to identify the matching symbols. The first player to correctly call out the associated Māori translation wins the round.
By the end of play, players will be able to confidently recall a range of symbols and their corresponding Te Reo Māori translations, helping to broaden and strengthen their vocabulary.
Ages 4+ · 10–15 mins · 57 playing cards · 8 reference cards

I am absolutely loving Takaro
Great game to learn Reo. Its helping my īramutu learn new kupu
Great whanau game
So fun. Reference cards are handy, nd the scan for pronunciation is VERY helpful. My Kid and I spend 2 hours tring the different games, we ONLY stopped because it was her 'get ready for bed' time and I 'had' to be the response adult. My tummy hurt from laughing so much.
Myself and my 6.5yo are loving this new set. Ngā mihi nui ki te tīma Tākaro!
Great product
Easy for new non maori speakers and Deaf
He tino rawe tēnei kēmu! Recieved in the post quickly and have heaps of fun with whānau and friends playing it. Ngā mihi nui ki a koutou

Great help with my te Reo journey . Fun for the moko too.
Haven't opened as yet as its a present, will let you know post-Xmas :-) However wanted to send my praises for how easy it was to find what I was looking for, and found great games for myself too! Delivery was easy and quick so thank you, would highly recommend :-)
My 7yo daughter loves this game. It is a double challenge spotting the identical picture and getting the name correct. Twice the fun. Rawe!!
Verry happy with the product, no complaints.
Haven’t played this one yet as trying to achieve the other two first and be able to play them with out reference sheets
