Awa, Whenua game




These tamariki enjoy playing Rie's 'Awa, Whenua' or 'River, Land' game.

Lyrique, Jorja, Jordan, Noah, Emily and Rionagh join in.

The aim of the game is to jump into the awa-river or back to the whenua-land when the caller calls 'Awa' or 'Whenua'. We have played this a few times now at KIDSPACE and the children become excited when Rie goes to the shed to collect the rope.

On Tuesday 12th October we are taking part in the Heart Foundation Jump Rope for Heart and this is one of the games we will play.

These tamariki demonstrate "Children develop a capacity to pay attention, maintain concentration, and be involved", Well-Being, Te Whaariki.
