Tongan language week

“CHEEHOO!!!” wednesday the 5th of september 2018. Tamaki primary school had a sports day and we were playing games from tonga. We had to do it because it is Tongan language week.  We got it all sorted by some parent helper’s, student council and Mrs Tafea. We did the games outside/top courts/concrete and the fields.




LANITA
Lanita is a game that i learnt and others learnt how to play. How you play is you have to have 3 people on one side and 5 people on the other. The 5 that is on the other side has the ball and they have to throw it at you and you can hit it down or to the sides so that you can get to the first cone. Lanita is kind of like kick ball. If the other people catch on the full then that person that hit it is out. I played that game and i made it to the end and got only 3 homes. Mrs Tafea said “ change over!”. So we changed over and i was on the field trying to catch the ball.




Bani
Bani was one of the games that i played when you had to get into two teams and one of the teams has to have the ball and they have to knock the cans down CRASH!!!, when you hit the cans the other team has to get the ball and try to hit you while your trying to rebuild the cans and stay there for 10 seconds and kick it down. When they do that then they win.
