Ki-O-Rahi and Māori Mythology

Ki-O-Rahi is a beautiful game that symbolizes the Māori mythology of Rahi, and the Māori creation myth, and the spiritual journey one makes upon death. Thus, the game is not a conflict but a cosmic dance between creation, journey, challenge, and return.

Ancient Longball

There was a rich tradition of bat-and-ball games outside of England in other parts of Europe, and many of them have striking (pun intended) similarities with each other. What contributions could these other European bat and ball sports have brought to baseball, especially as distinct waves of immigration came from Europe? This question has not been investigated enough, but I think a big reason for the success of “American Baseball” was that Europeans from all sorts of backgrounds embraced the game because it was similar to a bat and ball game of their youth in Europe.

Risk Vs. Reward

The implementation of risk vs. reward is a very Montessori idea because it combines the two concepts of natural consequences and freedom of choice.

The Power of Feedback (for the student)

This is the ultimate challenge of the Montessori PE instructor: balancing learning of the mind with learning movement of the body.

The Best System for Teaching Basketball to your Montessori School Team

Don’t teach plays, teach rules. Don’t switch your program year to year, build it up every year.

Does More Skill Equal Less Fun?

I assumed that due to it’s less competitive nature, this game would allow them to play loose and have fun, and not take the game seriously.

I was mistaken.
