Task Description: This week in Tupu Maia We worked on the topic contact and out theme was leadership. This week we still had Alicia and Sharlet, but this week we had 2 new activators. Despite this we worked on contact and tackling this session.
For our warm up we did a game of knee tag and another game of shoulder tag. To play knee tag we got into pairs and attempted to tag each other’s knees (not thighs). After a few rounds of knee tag we played shoulder tag. Just like knee tag we got into pairs again and grabbed each other’s wrists (both left and right) and attempted to tag each other’s shoulder by pushing against each other. After this warm up we had our Wairua Check-in. For our Wairua Check-in, we talked about different types of leaders, what leaders we are and what we need to improve on to be better leaders.
For our activities we mainly focused on contact like the skill is. We focused on tackling and learning different types of defence as well. At the end we played a game where we had 4 coloured squares coned out with different colours – Red, white and yellow. In the first round we had to pick a square at first and if they say the colour of the square you are in you have to run to a different one without getting hit with a tackling bag from the taggers.
Overall this session was around contact and leadership which was quite fun like always.
