Squiz the World goes to… Ghana
Leave a reviewEach week, we give the world globe a spin, and see where we land. Then we take the kids of Australia on an audio excursion to visit that country and its people. Today, we’re visiting the Gold Coast! Not the one in Queensland, but the one in sub-Saharan Africa. We’ll learn why Ghana got a new name; what our names would be if we were born in Ghana; and how to pluck a guitar, African-style.
