Traditional Māori Games

Samantha Sykes —

Our Whānaungatanga curriculum has led us to learn about cultural games. Tamariki of all ages have enjoyed learning Māori games such as matimati, whanowhano and maui matau.

These games help to develop hand eye co-ordination, spatial awareness, confidence and self-esteem, gross motor skills and fitness. Our tamariki have so much fun learning these games and enjoy the challenges they bring.
