Kiwiana Board Game
Kiwiana, a year 12 Young Enterprise Scheme (YES) group from St Mary's College.
Young Enterprise gives students from across the country the opportunity to create their own product, open, and run their own business.
Our group, Kiwiana, noticed that there is a gap in many New Zealanders’ knowledge about Aotearoa. This has inspired us to create a New Zealand themed board game to educate children and families about our country in an interactive and enjoyable way. Kiwiana is a combination of snakes and ladders and trivial pursuit, with the four main categories being history, sport, culture and nature. Kiwiana is a very exciting game, and is a great way for people of all ages and abilities to learn more about Aotearoa.
For more information and to order, please check out our website kiwiana.mystorbie.com
