Holistic Hauora Balance

A community event in Aotearoa is planning activities that help people move well and feel well. Read each situation, then use the four dimensions of hauora to design thoughtful, inclusive movement choices. You may use examples from everyday life; you do not need to share private information.

Decode the whare

Use the descriptions below to review the four dimensions of hauora.

1.Match each hauora dimension to its best description: (1) Taha Tinana, (2) Taha Hinengaro, (3) Taha Whānau, (4) Taha Wairua. A. relationships and belonging; B. body health and movement; C. thoughts, feelings and emotions; D. values, identity, purpose or connection to nature. Write the matching letter for each number.

1. Taha Tinana
2. Taha Hinengaro
3. Taha Whānau
4. Taha Wairua

D. Values, identity, purpose or connection to nature
C. Thoughts, feelings and emotions
A. Relationships and belonging
B. Body health and movement

2.A group plays a cooperative game outside. Name two different dimensions of hauora the game could support, and explain how it might support each one.

3.Which plan best supports more than one dimension of hauora while keeping movement welcoming for different abilities?

Make everyone race at top speed, with no changes allowed.
Offer a team walking-or-wheeling treasure hunt where people choose a comfortable pace and encourage one another.
Let only the strongest players choose teams and rules.
Ask everyone to do the same difficult exercise without breaks.

Plan for a balanced movement break

Consider the movement activities listed in the question, then make safe and inclusive choices.

4.Choose one activity from these options: target game (throw or roll a beanbag toward a target), walking-or-wheeling treasure hunt, or cooperative outdoor game. Describe one way to adapt it so a participant with a different strength, mobility, or comfort level can join in meaningfully.

5.For a movement break, Maia feels nervous about joining in and is new to the group. Suggest one action that could support her Taha Hinengaro and one that could support her Taha Whānau.

6.True or false: If someone enjoys a movement activity, it can only benefit Taha Tinana.

TrueFalse

7.During an outdoor team game, a participant becomes frustrated after missing a catch. Give one practical response that could help them manage the feeling and rejoin safely.

Your balanced-day design

Hauora is personal. You can answer with an imagined day, rather than sharing private details.

8.Plan a realistic movement activity for a balanced day. Include what the activity is, when or where it could happen, and how it could support at least two dimensions of hauora.

9.Fill in the blanks with a suitable movement or wellbeing idea: A way I could support Taha Tinana is . A way movement could help my Taha Hinengaro is .

10.A friend says, “I’m not sporty, so movement is not for me.” Write a supportive reply with two different movement options and one reason movement can be about more than competition.

11.What is one respectful question an event organiser could ask participants before choosing activities, so the plan supports different people’s hauora?

Draw or label a welcoming movement station for the event. Show one activity and one adaptation that helps more people take part. Add a note naming the hauora dimensions it could support.
