Melville Intermediate - Maori Raukau Stick Games

This is the first lesson in the series, we've had teachers do this as part of their PD for a staff meeting. This is an easy lesson to start. You can also used rolled up newspaper or magazines taped at the end if you don't have the wooden batons. Use masking tape, not selotape though!

  3. Dear Mr. Webb and students,

    What a great lesson about Maori Raukau stick games. I like how the steps were spoken so anyone can learn.

    My students are on break right now, but I will definitely share this lesson with my students when we are back together.

    Thanks!

  4. That was incredible. People should take advantages of that coordnation game and use it. I appreciate you all for taking the time to make an impact on the way people communicate with each other. From educational advantages to games, thanks for teaching me something new.


    Well Done,

  5. I think this is a great way to make music. This is sort of like druming here in the USA.

  7. This game is almost similar to a game that girls in Memphis, Tennessee play. I'm interested about what is the object of the game?

  13. I thought the raukua sticks were very interesting and neat since I have not seen anything like that here in Memphis.

  14. We really enjoyed learning from this video. It showed us clearly how to use the rakau. It was slow enough for us to learn from watching it. We followed your instructions and now we just need to keep practicing. Some of us found it easier to learn others.
    Thanks for sharing your learning.
