Māori Feelings Vocabulary Role Play
📖 Role Play Activity
Practice asking and answering about feelings using the new vocabulary words:
In pairs, take turns asking each other:
Person 1: Kei te pehea koe? (How are you?)
Person 2: Kei te __________ au. (I am feeling...)
Person 1: Kei te pehea tō hoa? (How is your friend feeling?)
Person 2: Kei te __________ ia. (He/she is feeling...)
Person 2 then asks Person 1: Kei te pehea koe?
Make sure to use at least three different feeling words from the matching activity!
Cultural Note: In Māori culture, asking about someone's wellbeing shows manaakitanga (hospitality and care). These phrases help us connect with others in a meaningful way.
