What am I learning?
Play a game to practise my fika liunga (multiplication) and my fika tānaki (addition)
How can I make sure I am successful?
Use the rules to play the game
Add and multiply
Activity description/steps:
Practise saying these words: maka, pepa, helekosi
These translate to: rock, paper, scissors in Tongan
Watch the video on how to play. They use English in the video however you will be using Tongan when saying rock, paper, scissors
It is played the same way you would normally play it, except you will be using your fingers to add the fastest e.g. instead of making a rock, paper or scissors with your hand, you will choose a random number of fingers to show and then you need to be the first to add your fingers and your buddies fingers together
To make your game a bit more trickier you can use the amounts to multiply instead
Give it a go with someone from your family. Teach someone that does not know the Tongan version

Tonga, a country made up of 170 islands, lies in the South Pacific Ocean. Only 36 islands are inhabited by people. The islands have beaches, volcanic mountains and coral reefs. People here grow crops, such as bananas, taro, coconut and papayas.
Tonga was settled by Polynesian explorers around 500 B.C. Tongans believe the Polynesian God had a son with a Tongan maiden. This son became king of Tonga around 950 A.D. Until recently, Tonga has been ruled by descendants of this first king. Relatives of the king were made chiefs. For centuries, the chiefs fought among themselves. They also sent warships to Fiji and Samoa. When European explorers and missionaries arrived, the Tongans plotted to kill them and succeeded more than once.
Like other Polynesian cultures, Tongans put value on close family relationships and religious observance. Most Tongans are Christian and stores and shops close on Sunday. Tongan children are expected to respect and obey their elders.
