Learning while having fun is possible.
Today, young Africans raise public awareness of the riches of the African continent through entertainment.
They have thus developed playful, educational and pedagogical board games made in Africa.

Monopoly becomes Wari wari and makes it possible to share family, financial and African values;
the game of the 7 families takes surnames from us: like Diakhité, Coulibaly or Sow;
the unbeatable game becomes Ya me gana xam and stimulates the general Senegalese culture of the youngest through African stories and characters.
Whether dealing with economics, history, culture, science, or languages, the games are presented in several forms for transmission by and for Africans.
