The hapu tribe, like many Māori tribes in New Zealand, traditionally played various games that were both recreational and educational. Some popular games included "ki-o-rahi," a ball sport that combines elements of tag and rugby, and "rippa," a form of touch rugby. These games often involved teamwork, strategy, and physical skill, serving to strengthen community bonds and teach important cultural values. Additionally, traditional Māori games also included various forms of wrestling and other physical contests.
