Building a New Zealand name, one letter at a time
New Zealand has seen a strong revival of Māori names, now chosen by families across all backgrounds as part of the country's national embrace of te reo Māori. A Name Pyramid worksheet builds one of these names up row by row, one letter at a time — useful practice for spellings using Māori vowel patterns.
This is a genuine step up from plain name tracing, asking a child to hold earlier letters in mind while adding the next.
