@hazza3 interesting, but they are nowhere near Polynesia lol. I think they have more in common with Micronesians

I do not mean any disrespect to anyone but in my whanau this was a game strictly for the girls while the boys went off and learnt the taiaha. Maybe it varies from tribe to tribe. Great job here recreating a maori village but but why stop at the costumes. I don't want tourists or others thinking my ancestors ran around in sackcloth.

@PonytailGoddess That song is called 'E Papa' you should be able to find it here and translations definitely will be out there if you google.

@gingatim look for "E Papa" Maori song here on YouTube, it's the most common song used when you learn this game. Then roll up some magazines and tape them (2 each) and just improvise and have fun with it (get ideas for simple techniques here and on other similar videos and make up a routine to do with your youth group)! I grew up playing this in NZ and have made some magazine ones for my kids.
