Ki O Rahi

Today my class room 5 at 9:00am played a game called Ki O Rahi which is a traditional maori game. last week we had to learn about this game like why the game was made or how to play the game. Also Ki O Rahi has zones te marama te ao te ara te roto there is also the tupu and the pou.   Now how to play Ki O Rahi which is played with two teams Kioma and Taniwha. Kioma has to run around  touching the pou and then runing into the middle to get a try once Kioma has scored they have to do a kick off in te marama Kioma also has two guardians in the middle to protect the tupu and stoping Taniwha from scoreing. Taniwha has to hit the tupu with the ball to score but they have to shoot in te roto but there can only be 4 shooters in te roto and Kioma can not enter te roto. Taniwha can also go for a jump shot aslong as they shoot before they touch the ground.
i have also found out that the game was mainly made so maori tribes could keep the peace between them by playing this game.

And that is all the rules and facts about Ki O Rahi i hope you enjoyed
