The Ultimate Africa Challenge

The Ultimate Africa Challenge is an African activity book for ages 8 to 99 — 125+ puzzles, quizzes and games spanning all 54 countries, ancient writing systems, wildlife and culture.

Africa is 54 countries, more than two thousand languages, and several of the oldest writing systems on Earth. This book is an invitation to explore all of it.

The Ultimate Africa Challenge holds more than 125 puzzles, quizzes, mazes and games across 120 pages.

Match ten African scripts to the places they came from — Ge'ez, Nsibidi, Tifinagh, N'Ko, Meroitic, Mandombe and more. Put the independence years in order, and find out why 1960 is called the Year of Africa. Say hello and thank you in languages from Ewe to Oromo to Venda. Sort the animals that belong to Africa from the ones that don't. Meet the continent's literary giants, and solve riddles about Yaa Asantewaa, Mansa Musa, Miriam Makeba and Thomas Sankara.

Then take on six rounds of team trivia, and find out who in the family actually knows the continent.

There are crosswords, word searches, mazes, colouring pages and spreads of facts throughout — including one about the penguins that live in Africa.
