Waitangi Day – Collaborative Colouring Classroom Display – Digital Download
Create a meaningful Te Rā o Waitangi classroom display with this collaborative colouring activity designed to support learning through working together.
This resource centres kotahitanga by inviting tamariki to each contribute a piece to a shared display — learning as they colour, kōrero, and build it together.
Ideal for classrooms, kura, early learning centres, and whānau spaces.
What’s Included:
Waka Display – Coloured & Black and White Versions
Choose what works best for your class and timeframe:
-
Use the pre-coloured waka and banner for younger tamariki or shorter sessions
-
Or let older tamariki colour the waka and banner themselves as part of a longer activity
Individual Paddle (Hoe) Pages
Each tamaiti can colour their own paddle, which becomes part of the final display — a simple way to show that everyone plays a role.
For very young tamariki, colouring just the paddle may be enough.
For older classes or those with more time, paddles can be added to a fully coloured waka and banner for a richer display.
Instructions Page
Clear, easy-to-follow instructions to help you assemble the display in a way that suits your space and learners.
Designed to Be Flexible:
This is one collaborative activity, adaptable for different ages and time limits.
You can:
-
Keep it quick and simple
-
Or turn it into a longer, shared classroom project
Either way, the focus remains on working together, contribution, and belonging.
Recommended Age:
Best suited for tamariki aged 3–7 years, with flexibility for older classes depending on how the activity is used.
