The games South African children love
Games We Play celebrates the games South African children play in streets, yards and playgrounds: diketo, morabaraba, skipping rope, hopscotch, hide and seek, wire cars, clapping games, clay cows, marbles and tug of war.
Every page has a game to colour, a fun fact about it, a small activity and a “Say it in Sepedi!” word. Many parents and grandparents played these games too, so it’s perfect for sharing stories across generations.

Before you buy
Do I need to speak Sepedi to use this book?
Not at all. Instructions and fun facts are in simple English, and every Sepedi word has the English beside it. It’s a gentle start for families learning Sepedi, and a fun boost for children who already speak it.
Do I need an account to buy?
No. Add the book to your cart, enter the email address where you’d like the download link sent, and pay. That’s it.
How do I get the book?
Straight after payment we email you a download link, usually within a few minutes. The link works for 7 days, so download and save the PDF. If anything goes wrong, email us and we’ll send a fresh link.
Can I print it more than once?
Yes. Print it as often as you like for your family. Print a fresh page whenever your child wants to colour it again.
Do I need a colour printer?
No. The colouring pages are black line art and print well on any printer. The cover and the Well Done certificate look best in colour, but black and white works too.
I paid but didn’t get the email.
Check your spam or promotions folder first. Still nothing after 15 minutes? Email sandile@asifundenathi.co.za with the email address you used, and we’ll sort it out quickly.
