Traditionally riddling in KINYARWANDA is very important aspect of children plays. The use of metaphors and structural parallelism in puzzles presents enormous opportunities for Sakwe Sakwe App to be viewed as an instructional medium for elegant speech, observation of nature and human behavior. As culture is central to the aspect of what it means to be human, language is a vehicle through which culture is transmitted. We need to speak and think in a language of our culture. However for developing countries such as Rwanda, the language that is associated with development is English and French.
