My 4th graders are in love with Wa. They ask to play as a brain break all of the time!!! I told them that you had this super challenging game that usually fails with elementary students (Kumja) and they wanted the challenge. They are really good at it and have lots of laughs with the Toki section. Thank you so much for sharing these games with us.
Students and teacher are having with as a circle. Like in the middle, we hear the work Toki, Kumja, and Wa many times. It looks like this is an enthusiastic game.
Ashley R. It can work, but teaching it to large groups of elementary kids who have never played has been tough. They have to already know the game I’ve found. I’d keep it under 20 for sure, too.
My crew got really good, even with elimination mode, and we added another layer around the toki toki, which says EEPIE EEPIE. I believe we tried with a 4th layer and failed. When you have huge groups of kids (that are familiar with the game) it gets really fun.
Some guys in school actually when they did the Kumja game they said the person that was the bunny said bunny bunny (2x) while the people on each side of the bunny said Carrot Carrot in halftime of the bunny bunny. I wonder if that would've worked in the Kumja game
Does this work for adults, I'm the youngest like 21 so might be why I like it but the rest at in their 26-30ish I don’t know how to choose games for much older people
oh, I like wa. I'm going to try to change it into a name game. So instead of wa it will say the name of the person you are pointing to and the ones on the side repeat. I hope it works
Kumja has been around a while at least since 1997 in Pohang Korea....The character passed is not bunny, it's toki.....To the left and right of the toki....people said "tangun" which is carrot and they swung their arms like popeye walking....everyone else said ....la..la...la and flapped their arms like a chicken....Just saying....
Typically a small group game is 12 or less, sometimes up to 20. Kumja I like to keep small because it's difficult to learn and with a larger group, it only gets more difficult. Large group games can be over 20 to 100, or sometimes even more!
I appreciate your existence. I'm not creative enough to come up with these myself but I am enthusiastic enough to lead them.
What a great appreciation... "I appreciate your existence"
I feel like i'm watching an espisode of the office when it pans to the leader explaining it :D but thanks for these will use them with my students!
And this is why it's sometimes hard to convince people that my church isn's a sect 😂😂 Love it!

Imagine someone walks past and sees you playing Kumja 😂
Hai Sir,I played your Kumja Bunny Toki game today in the class and it was a huge hit.I can't thank you enough.Hope you are doing great and well.🌻
That’s great! I honestly have mixed success with that one, but if you’ve got advanced students they can do it!
All your games are really amazing...
very good game, you can have lots of fun!!!!! thanks for the video and congratulations for the amazing activities.....
I've 100% played Kumja with large groups of elementary school kids and they love it

Did Wa in college, and hated it so much.
Thanks! It was so fun! Especially, Toki, toki. 😂😄
Awesome activity across all ages! Kudos!

This is great! Thanks a lot.
lmbo! Kumja seems fun. I bet I could use it for my class to jump start them after lunch.
I love the bunny part
Amazing!! best circle game ever!!
The Krieg Korps is interested in your Wa!!
Will be using some of your vidoes for my cell group
You're great 😊 I'm gonna try this game w/ my students. Hoping it will work 😊😊😊

(2x) while the people on each side of the bunny said Carrot Carrot in halftime of the bunny bunny. I wonder if that would've worked in the Kumja game
Eric Zubyk Yep! Sounds like just a different variation! Whatever is fun!
OMG I FOUND THE GAME THAT MY SUMMER CAMP COUNSELOR TAUGHT ME! were pros there okie. yes professionals.
😂 that was funny
I've played this minus the "kumja" part; I like it!
Nice
Genius!!
thats great can we do this in training like with leaders

What a cool idea!
very exciting ice breaker
Cool haha
Nice game
Swahili word for slave is mtumwa
Issac Robin Then I was lied to! Not sure where I originally heard that
@@YouthMinistryGreatGames Or another word for servant is mtumishi. If you were refering to the word Kuja, this means "come"
I didn't catch it verry well..
Is this a church?
Yep!!
And who wins?

When you say large group, about how many people in the group do you mean? Hoping to implement this during youth tonight!

im korean and i've been playing bunny bunny since i was a kid in the 2000s. i can't believe it made it's way to american churches haha
Love it! I wonder how much it’s changed from its roots!
R u sure kumja isnt gamja? Korean for potato?
I like it! And that would actually be true, as I’m finding out I was lied to about its Swahili origins in the first place.
East African here: kumja is Not a Kiswahili word. Kuja is though and it means come.
Αβγθε Oh man, I’ve been lied to for years then! And spreading lies on the internet. A far worse crime! Apologies!
"Wha's UP!"
Nice
