Grade 8 · Creative Arts and Sports · Cultural Arts and Multimedia
Kenyan folk dances such as Isukuti (Luhya), Adumu (Maasai) and Chakacha (Swahili) tell about culture. Basketry weaves sisal, palm leaves or grass into baskets using coiling and weaving. Tie-dye makes patterns by tying fabric before dyeing, and batik uses wax to resist dye. Tagging is an indigenous game of chasing and touching players.
