Poi Spinning Challenge

Hold the cord and let the weighted poi hang, then start swinging it in a smooth circular motion at your side.

Practice basic patterns, such as circling both poi together or alternating them in opposite directions.

Add footwork and body movement to match the rhythm of the swinging poi.

For a group version, everyone learns the same short sequence of moves and performs it together in time with music or a chant.

Challenge players to hold a pattern the longest without tangling or dropping the poi, or to be first to learn a new sequence correctly.
