Tī Rākau is a traditional Māori game from New Zealand that involves the use of sticks, typically made from wood. Players stand in a circle and take turns throwing the sticks to one another while calling out the name of the person they are throwing to. The game emphasizes coordination, teamwork, and communication among players. The sticks used in Tī Rākau can vary in size and shape, but they are usually around 1 meter long. This game is often played during cultural events and gatherings, promoting social interaction and connection within the Māori community. It is also a fun way to engage children in physical activity.
