Kapa Tākaro - Gathering to play & Playtest Kēmu Reo Māori

He manahau, he mīharo!
Beautiful to gather and play kēmu reo Māori.
This week's hui was a little experimental, to see if pō kēmu are something people are keen for and the answer is āe rawa atu ❤
 
We played a big kēmu Kaupapa, testing out some new kāri Māui (including Atamira - appoint someone to act things out while you do clues, and Tuitui Kōrero - weave together all the words in your turn into a story) and wrote up new cards to test out next time.
.
We also took an experimental game (working title: Hariru) for a spin. It involves everyone having a stack of kāri tohutohu, and calling out the action until you find a matching friend do that action with... repeating that until you get rid of all your cards as fast as poss! Okay maybe you had to be there.... it was fun!
.
All in all, a beautiful time of whakawhanaungatanga and finding kindred sprits who love to play, all on the beautiful rooftop of MoveSpace! We'll have another in about a month, so stay tuned e kare mā!
