Keeping it Fun

I needed to meet with the Kwaya language committee to ask one question; whether or not they approve of the Kwaya orthography. Since that would be simple enough, I decided to add in some fun games and discussions that would use written Kwaya.

The committee members read a couple of passages from Acts. They then discussed those passages using some prompts such as "summarize what you just read outloud", "what was interesting to you in this passage?" and others.


The local languages here have so many traditional proverbs, so we also played a Pictionary type game with these. In teams of 2 they pulled a proverb out of a hat then they drew it.






The rest of the group then guessed which proverb they had drawn.





It was such fun seeing all the committee members enjoying their written language so much. AND, they gave me their approval for the orthography!
