Hello, blogging world. For this activity, we had to look at a website that had four games (Here are the links) Poi Rakau, Ki O Rahi, Koruru and Poi Toa. Then out the 4, we had to choose one. Doing that we had to find out the name of the game, The purpose, and two rules. I have chosen Poi Rakau as it looked fun and I would enjoy to play it with my friends. Here is a video of how to play.
Poi Rakau is called Poi Raku. The aim of the game is to try to reach the next Rakau without it falling. You can step back but that would make it harder for you and everybody else. You are not allowed to dig it into the ground if so you are out. 1 person will be in the middle calling out instruction like "Go Right" or "Go Left"! but in Maori. they could add moves like Leg lift and he could add "Go right but do a Leg Lift and Clap before the Rakau falls"! In this list, I have played 2 of the game which are... Koruru and Poi Toa. Koruru is also known as knuckle bones. You chuck 5 rocks (The same size) in the air and try to catch them on the back of your hand, then you would need to flip it over onto your palm without dropping it. With Poi Toa it is kinda like a dance you make a Poi and normally they are used for dance. I did this in kindergarten and that was so fun. Thank you, everybody, for reading this blog post.
