Poi (juggling)

Okay kiddo, let's talk about poi! Poi is a fun type of juggling where you spin things around in circles.

So imagine holding a ball attached to a long string. You swing the ball around in circles, switching from hand to hand, and trying not to let it hit the ground. That's what poi is like!

But instead of a ball, some people use long, thin bags filled with sand or rice. And instead of just swinging them around, they can do all sorts of fancy tricks like weaving the poi around their body or making them spin super fast.

Poi can be really mesmerizing to watch, especially when someone is really good at it. It's a really fun way to get moving and show off your skills!
