Quarantine games- NRG All Kenyan week.
Written by Essy on April 9, 2020
In celebration of Kenyan music, NRG has been playing strictly kenyan music. If you are a fan of Kenyan music or would like to be conversate with kenyan music, tune in to 97.1 FM Nairobi, 98.4FM Eldoret, 96.3 FM Mombasa 93.5 and Nakuru.
I would like to localise a common game called song association that you can play with your loved ones as you self isolate and quarantine in the house.
I will give you a list of common words that are in kenyan songs- swahili words to be precise.
You can choose to have a fun competition by timing yourselves for five to ten seconds depending on your preference. The assigned referee will give you the word and you will attempt to think of a song that may have those words and sing it.
