Hello, Ghana!

Markets, rainforests, weaving and festivals: discover a little of Ghana, Bernard’s home country in West Africa.

Makola Market

A busy market in Accra, where traders sell food, clothing and colourful fabrics. What colours would you look for?

Kakum National Park

A rainforest with a walkway high in the treetops. Imagine the sounds of the forest all around you.

Winneba

Winneba’s masquerade celebrations bring costumes, masks, music and dancing together. Design a mask of your own!

Cape Coast Castle

A coastal landmark and museum that remembers people affected by the transatlantic slave trade. Explore this difficult history with a grown-up.

Bonwire

A village known for kente weaving. Watch how threads become patterns on a loom, then invent your own pattern.

Lake Bosomtwe

A lake in the Asante region, surrounded by green hills. Imagine a story that begins by the water.

Ask a grown-up to help you find Ghana on a map. What would you like to learn next?
