Tertiary education provider Te W\u0101nanga o Aotearoa won a M\u0101ori Language Award last year for its Mahuru M\u0101ori initiative, which encouraged te reo speakers to use only te reo for a month. It is running Mahuru M\u0101ori again this year with the goal to increase participation to over 2,000 people.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cWe want everyone on board \u2013 as many people as possible. It\u2019s been shown through our research to be right-shifting from people who are passive to active but the improvement would be to boost the numbers participating,\u201d says Te W\u0101nanga o Aotearoa poutiaki Paraone Gloyne.<\/p>

\u201cIt\u2019s an empowering exercise for the person who does the challenge, it\u2019s also empowering for the language [and] on a spiritual level, it feeds the mauri of our reo.\u201d<\/p>

Teachers can use traditional M\u0101ori hand games or string games, known as whai, to teach te reo, Paraone says. There are also M\u0101ori board games like Mut\u014drere, which is similar to Ludo.<\/p>

Those schools that do not have knowledgeable reo teachers should connect with their local kura kaupapa \u201crather than looking at Google for the answers\u201d, says Paraone.<\/p>

There are also Facebook pages teachers can join, such as \u2018M\u0101ori for Grownups\u2019 which is administered by television host and reo expert Stacey Morrison.<\/p>
