Cook Islands: Activities


Figure 1.--The photograph was taken on Rarotonga Island in the Cook Islands. As in New Zealand, rugby is popular among boys. As in sometines the case in New Zealand , the boys play without boots. This is in part because boys commonly go barefoot in everyday life.

We have some information about boys' activities on the Cook Island. School is a fairly recent innovation. We have a Cook Island school page. Religion is also important. Most Cook Islanders are Christians. Sports are mow popular. Again New Zealnd are important is a major influence. As a result, rugby is the most popular sport, almost to the exclusion of other sports. We also have a page on Scouting, the only known youth group. These all seem to be imported activities. Surely there mit be some popular traditional activities. Hopefully any Cook Island visitors can provide some information here.
