Lately, In P.E we have been learning a game called Ki O Rahi and we had to research,
here is my research.
here is my research.
When you’re playing Ki O Rahi there will be a set time to play in, it will be 4 quarters or 2 halves.
Teams will switch roles of Kīoma and Taniwha at half time or in each quarter. Both teams score
differently Kīoma scores by touching the Pou With the Kī then they run the Kī through to Te Roto
and placing it down in Pāwero/Te Moto. This means they will get points after touching the pou.
If the Kī goes out any team can pick it up. Teams can decide to change the rules before playing
the game, normally they will just keep playing as if it was Tatu. The Taniwha team scores one
point for hitting the tupu which is in the middle of the field. There a several circles which makes
the Ki o Rahi field and they have specific names. The outer ring of a Ki o Rahi field is called Te Ao,
the next ring in is called Te Roto, The next one is Pāwero/Te Motu. There is a little circle around the
Tupu is called Te wairua.

This is what the field looks like:
The equipment you will need is Kī (ball) Pou (pole/post) Tupu (Barrel) bibs, cones to make
the outlines, you can also use spray paint to make outlines.

The legend:
One day an enemy tribe from a far off mountains kidnapped Te Ara. Her Abductors casted
a spell on her causing the vegetation to become really dense and impenetrable so nobody
could track where she was. Rahi was very determined to find Ti Ara, with the help of his family
and tribe he built a huge kite and called it Manu Tangata. Before going on his journey Rahi
prepared several “Kī” (Flax Bags) he then filled it up with a large Moa (Extinct New Zealand Bird)
eggs so he can eat something during his journey. Tawhirimatea the god of wind blew Rahi and his
Kite high up in the sky before he gently landed Rahi in the bush. When Ti Ara was being taken
away through the forest she secretly folded back leaves of the silver fern. Which was exposing
the silvery underside of the leaf so Rahi was able to follow the silvery trail that Ti Ara had left.
