Melville Intermediate - Maori Raukau Stick Games, Lesson Two
Here in the United States a lot of girls to a hand game just like that but without sticks. In the US it gets really boring to watch but it is so much better with sticks!!!
WOW! I love the musical performance of Rolling On The River! It was amazing vocals! What made me love it more was that I live in Memphis and that song is about the Mississippi River which runs right through downtown Memphis.
I thought the Maori Raukau Sticks was awesome because I love music that doesn't come from a guitar or drums or any instrument that is newer. It has a more effective sound when you play with something that is older. It soothes my soul to hear that kind of music. Plus it's a game and who doesn't like games? I think it is great that your making learning fun in your classroom.
