Maori Raukau Stick Game ~ Thanks Room 8@Melville School!


Mrs. Yollis' class loves to learn new things. 

Here is the Maori Stick Game we learned from our friends in Room 8@Melville Int. School in New Zealand.

First, we watched their tutorial below.





We practiced and practiced. 

We're not perfect, but we've had a good time!




What did you think of the game?

Have you ever played?

    Dear Mrs Yollis and students,
    how wonderful I really loved watching you play the Maori Raukau Stick Game even with the giggles.
    You all did a great job. I was wondering do the sticks have to be a certain length?
    Bianca and I will have to play this game over the school break and see if we can get as good as you guys.
    When I was at school we used to plays games slapping and clapping ours hands together with another person and singing at the same time.
    Thanks for a playful post I really have enjoyed watching it
    from your friend down under AA>

    Dear Mrs. Yollis,

    I have never played this game before.
    It looks like a very challenging and fun game.I would like to try it as soon as I get the sticks. It seems it's easy, but I'm sure in order to do it right, needs lot of practice and concentration.
    Thanks to Mr. Webb and Room 8 for sharing your game with us.
