WALT: Play Ki o Rahi
Today Room 5 had some fun games of Ki o Rahi with Matua Derek. Here is how you play the game:
First you need 14 People minimum (7 a side).
Ki o Rahi is a large team game played between 2 teams, kioma and taniwha on a large circular field. Played for 4 quarters or 2 halves of a set time, teams alternate roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half or quarter time.
Kīoma score by touching Pou/s with the Kī (for potential points) then running the Kī through Te Roto and placing it down in Pawero to convert pou touches into points. Kīoma stop the other team, Taniwha.
Taniwha score by hitting the Tupu with the Kī. Kīoma will have Kaitiaki (guardians) around the Tupu to stop Taniwha from hitting the Tupu. Depending on which variation is being played, Taniwha must stop Kīoma from scoring by either touching, 2 handed touch, ripping the tag or tackling them in the appropriate area.
Room 5 really enjoyed playing Ki o Rahi together and here are some photos from today's games taken by our Teacher aid Amber.
Hi Ms Peters cool photos about your game of Ki o rahi. I liked how you explained the game to us and how you acknowledged Amber for taking the photos. Awesome!!. From Cyris

DeleteHi! This is Miro from Paroa school. I like how happy you all look! We've tryed to decipher how this game works in class before, but to no luck. I'm glad some other school.s have! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHi Miro thank you for your comment. We are very blessed and lucky to have Matua Derek come into our school once a week to teach different classes how to play Ki o Rahi and other Maori kemu (games). Matua Derek works for our local iwi, Te Rarawa. Maybe someone from your local iwi could help your school and teach the students of your school?
