For te Wiki Tākaro o Aotearoa 2024 (NZ Play Week), we invited whānau in Tāmaki Makaurau into the snare of Tūwhakararo!
In the spirit of "Where's Wally?", our Wiki Tākaro adventure had whānau searching for leading tākaro champion, Wiremu Sarich, in two special pop-up locations around Tāmaki Makaurau, where he then delivered tākaro sessions exploring the magic of taonga tākaro.
Mei kore ake hoki koe, Wiremu, i tū pakari ai tēnei kaupapa, e te ringa tōhau nui o te taonga nei, e mihi kau atu ana.
Kia tahuri rā ki a koutou i whai wāhi mai ai ki tā mātou nei kaupapa i te wiki tākaro, ka nui te mihi! Kia kaha tonu tātou ki te hura i ngā kura o te tākaro!
