TAHA TINANA - Healthy Body - Play Mitimiti/Matimati - JARREKA

Jarreka has a new TAHA Challenge for us today to strengthen our TAHA TINANA to build a healthy body.

Challenge: Play the traditional Māori game, Matimati or Mitimiti with a buddy from your bubble


This game was used to train toa (warriors). It helped them to 'read' their enemies moves and evade and disguise their attacking moves.

See how quickly you can move your body so you don't get tapped! See if you can trick your partner to move in the wrong direction!

Level 1 - Tap your partner's shoulder
Level 2 - Tap your partner's shoulder or waist
Level 3 - Tap your partner's shoulder, waist or knees

Have a go at building your TAHA TINANA powers today playing Matimati (or Mitimiti).
