Tanzania Routine for girls

Kids in Tanzania don't get a lot of time to play. Life is especially difficult for girls. Girls are often given more chores than boys are, so girls they get less time to play. A girl's day starts very early in the morning. She usually wakes up at 5 a.m so that she can help her mother start the fire and cook breakfast for the rest of the family. Before school, she is also expected to help clean the house. This usually involves sweeping and mopping the floors. After school she returns home to cook dinner, wash dishes and clothes, and study if she has time

Recess
Girls might skip with ropes or play with home made wooden doll

Boys like ball games such as football, basketball, and volleyball

Tanzania Boys Routine
