Week 1 Day 4 Activity 2 - Hitting a High Note - Playing Games

Hey guys this blog is about old traditional maori games.
I will tell you what it is two of the rules that apply and what the actual purpose of the game.

The game that I have chosen is a game called Poi Rakau. 

This game is when you pass a sharpened rakau around the circle without hitting any one or any one dropping it.
You can have as many players as you like.
