We should all know the phases of the moon! Learn the Hawaiian moon phases through this song and handgame! Feel free to share and educate! (words below)

ʻŌlelo Noʻeau #1471 is the first three lines of this moon phase song/chant. "The first part of a childs chant for learning the names of the moon phases. Also said of one who does not know the answer to a question or is ignorant. He is compared to a small child who has not learned the moon phases." (Pūkuʻi, 1983)

Kamalii ike ole i ka helu pō

Muku nei, Muku ka malama

Hilo nei, kau ka Hoaka

Ehā Kū, Ehā Ole

Huna, Mohalu, Hua, Akua

Hoku, Māhealani, Kulu

Ekolu Lāau, Ekolu Ole, Ekolu Kāloa
