Colour song (Maori)

This song gives the Maori colour first and then the English equivalent.

Ma is white

Whero is red

Kakariki is green

Mangu is black, Pango is too

AEIOU

Kowhai is yellow

Parauri is brown

Kikorangi is blue

Karakaraka is our orange

AEIOU

Tip: A set of coloured cards or coloured pencils works great with this song. Hold up the correct colour as you say them as a visual cue for your child.
