Two teams play against each other to try and knock the opposing team’s balls off their cones. With scoring zones, a kaitiaki and a lot of movement, Tapu ae gets everyone involved.
Setup, Equipment & Instructions
  • There are three zones: two scoring zones and a middle zone.
  • Each scoring zone has a kaitiaki or defender that guards three cones with tennis balls on top. Their job is to stop the attackers from hitting them off with the game ball.
  • The ball must be touched by a Smashie in each zone before a team can score.
  • Defenders must stay arms length from the opposition.
  • A point is scored hitting a ball off the cone in the scoring zone. The ball is placed underneath the cone to indicate it has been hit.
  • The team to hit all three targets first, wins.
