Cultural Games

Kia Ora bloggers. this is another blog post about the cultural games that I've been taught by adults. The games that we were taught were Tinikling which was a cultural game from Philippines. We were also taught how to play Pani (from Fiji), two Russian games Ruchei (stream) and the other one was called Wizards. We also got taught how to play Caber Toss from Scotland.

If you want to know how to play these games, then here are the steps on how you can play.

Tinikling

Tinikling has a group of three people, Two of the three people holds each sides of two bamboo sticks and the last person try's to jump over the bamboo sticks. When the person is jumping over the bamboos,both people holding onto each sides of the bamboo hits the bamboo once in the air and then, and then tapping it down twice.

Pani

Pani has two even teams. one team has to try and protect themselves with pieces of cardboard while the other team tries to hit them with the ball and also to try and knock down the tower before they rebuild it. 

Caber Toss

Caber Toss is a game that is individual. you hold a long wooden pole from the bottom. You let it lean forward and then you use all your might and try to make it do a 12:00 cartwheel.

Ruchei (stream)

you look for a partner and you hold that partners hand in the air, and form a line with other people behind you. There should be one person without a partner and they go through the tunnel and grabs a persons hand. when you grab that persons hand, the person that was the hand of that person then goes to the front and goes and it keeps going and going. 

Wizards

To play this game there should be about 3-4 people as wizards and the wizards are trying to tag the non-wizards and if a non-wizard gets tug, then they stand like a star shape. To set him or her free, another non-wizard has to tag him before he gets tug from another wizard.
