SETTING
Both
MATERIALS
- A pair of poi (weighted balls on cords) for each participant
HOW TO PLAY
1
Hold one poi cord loosely in each hand and begin swinging both in wide, even circles at your sides.
2
Practice basic patterns, such as swinging both poi in the same direction before switching to opposite directions.
3
In a group setting, a leader calls out pattern names, and everyone attempts to transition into that pattern together.
4
Players may add simple footwork or turns while keeping the poi moving smoothly without tangling the cords.
5
The activity continues as a shared practice session, with more experienced participants demonstrating advanced patterns for others to try.
