Let’s play some Australian games!Let’s play some Australian games!

Boogalah:

A game where a ball, made of sewn-up kangaroo skin, is thrown in the air. Whoever catches it goes with all of their totem group into a group in the middle, the others are circling around. The ball is thrown into the air until one of the circle outside catches it. Then both groups change positions. The totem keeping it longest wins.

Kai

In this traditional game from the Torres Strait a number of players stood in a circle and sang the ‘kai wed’ (ball song) as they hit a ball and tried to keep it up in the air with the palm of one hand at a time. This Indigenous game was played using the thick, oval, deep red fruit of the kai tree which is quite light when dry.
