Join Rangiatea for an insight into Māori Cultural Games!

We have a great morning planned!

  • 10am - 10.30am: Single poi participants will learn the basic movements and techniques of using a single poi, while exploring its traditional Māori origins and cultural significance.

  • 10.40am - 11.10am: Tititōrea – “E Papa Waiari”. An interactive session where you will learn the traditional Māori stick game Tititōrea, accompanied by the waiata E Papa Waiari.

    This activity develops rhythm, coordination, concentration and teamwork.

  • 11.20am - 11.50am: Pā Kāinga - Life in the Old Days. A kōrero about traditional Māori village life, including how our tūpuna lived, worked and cared for one another.

    You will then work together in groups to complete a 3D whare puzzle building challenge, encouraging communication, problem-solving and collaborative learning.
