One student said “I watched my teacher teach a song from Southern Africa called Sabunana Kusasa from an old ABC school song book. The teacher explained what the Zulu words meant and where these people live in South Africa. This was really good for the kids to know and it got even better when he gave the children drums and they performed the song in a circle.

Not only does it get the kids attention and spark creativity, but they also learn about the different cultures of the world
