African Stories: Motherland Comes Home
Discover the wisdom, wonder, and rich traditions of Africa through stories, songs, and audience participation.
All stories come from Africa and have a moral or theme. Often the stories encourage active participation and are great for every age. As time permits, there is a highlight on one of the African countries, i.e. language, land composition, flag, and a song or two is taught.
