Ki o Rahi
How to play Ki o Rahi
Ki o Rahi is based on a Maori legend
First you need 2 teams, Kioma and Taniwha, and a large round field (see below).
The game is played over 4 quarters or 2 halves. Teams swap roles at half or quarter time.
Scoring-Kioma touch pous (sticks) with the ki (soft ball).
Taniwha - must stop kioma scoring by ripping the tag off.
Taniwha- score by hitting the tupu (barrel in the middle of the field) with the ki.
Numbers of players -8 a side.
Skills needed- Running, tag ripping, blocking shots, jump shots, communication and teamwork- it is a real team game.
Equipment-1 tupu (central target)
-8 pous (poles)
-Ki (the ball)
-Team rippers
At our Winter Sport we play against 5 teams in our cluster. Girls score double points because otherwise the boys might hog the ball all the time.
I like playing this game because it is fun and different. Please leave a comment and ask me some questions!
