Māori Colours - 'clip and flip' cards

‘Clip and Flip’ cards for 11 Māori colours.

A fun, hands-on activity for reinforcing the knowledge and recall of the names of colours.

Instructions:
Look at the colour splodge on the front of the card. Read the words on the right. Decide which one of the Māori words is the correct one for that colour and place a clothes peg on that word. Flip the card over to see if you are correct. Take the peg off and try again with another card.

Note:
The cards do not come with the answer on the back so you will need to place a mark on the reverse side of the card. Just use something like a sticker or make a mark with a coloured pencil. Do this before you laminate the cards.

Included:
♦ Cards for 11 colours
♦ Cards for 11 colours without any text (add your own).
