Pok-A-Tok!27 January 2022 (by admin) |
Pok-A-Tok was a popular game played by the Maya people thousands of years ago.
The aim of the game was to pass a solid, rubber ball through a hoop on either side of a high-walled stadium to score points. Games would usually last all day so if a team managed to score a point, the game would end.
Today, Voyagers were very excited to have a go at playing Pok-A-Tok. However, there was one rule they needed to consider... players were not allowed to use their hands or feet! They worked together in two teams to try and throw the ball through the hoop and managed to succeed.
The children were very proud of their teamwork and their efforts during this highly entertaining lesson!
