How To Play Ki o Rahi?

How To Play Ki o Rahi?

Guten Tag! Have you guys heard about the game called Ki o Rahi?

Well if you have or not, I'm gonna teach you how to play that fabulous game.

First of all, this game is a Maori traditional game. We use some Maori vocabulary words to call those stuff because like I said it's a Maori game so we need to call it into its proper name.

What you'll need:

- 1 Ki (It's a ball that's called Ki) 

- Lot's of Field marking cones

- 1 Tupu ( Centre Target bin)

- 7 Pou's (Poles or flags)

- 14 people to play (7 people each team) 

Rules:

There are two teams that are gonna be playing. Each team have a main Job to do. One team has to be either Kioma or Taniwha.

Kioma - What Kioma does is they collect points by touching the Ki (The ball) to the Pou's (Poles).  They can touch Pou's as many they want. They can redeem the points by touching the Pawero (The white part) of the field.

 But at the same time, they have to avoid to get touch by the other teams. If the other team touch you, you can still carry on but when they touch you like 3 times with different people, It's a hand over that means the other teams get the Ki (The ball). 

The Kioma has also at least 2 Kaitiaki players inside to protect the Tupu (The centre target bin) from the other teams of getting score by hitting the Tupu. If the 2 Kaitiaki want to get out of the Te Wairua (Which is the place where they are on before) well they can, They just have to go to Te Ara (The path where they can go in and out).

Taniwha - What Taniwha does is that they get points by hitting the Kito the Tupu, But they also need to look out from Kioma players because they might get touched and the same thing as Kioma when theTaniwha players get touched by the Kioma players 3 times in different people then they need to hand the ball.

 But when they touch the player but the player already passed it to somebody in their team then that doesn't count. The Taniwha players can stand at Te Roto to hit the Ki to the Tupu. But they need to remember that the 2 Kaitiaki players can touch them if they are too close.

Te Ao - It's what you call it the place surrounds the 7 Pou's.

Here's what the field looks like:
The Ki o Rahi game has a unique circular field.

Bye and have a great day!
