Ubongo Kids recently launched a new mobile service: audio stories told by favourite characters from the show! Mobile phones are common in East Africa, and audio platforms are extremely popular with users of all ages. With Ubongo Mobile, children are rewarded for answering questions correctly with incoming songs to their phones from Mama Ndege and other characters. Children on average answer over 70 quiz questions per day via Ubongo Mobile. Due to the accessibility and popularity of mobile options, we have expanded and now offer a new Ubongo Audio Stories service. Children or their parents select a math or science topic and then receive a call and hear a three minute educational audio story from their phones. The stories are all connected to existing episodes of Ubongo Kids and read to them by a character such as Mama Ndege. Can you imagine answering your phone and having your favourite childhood cartoon character read you a story? How fun!
