Many Africans do not have access to the internet or even electricity. However, all of the capital cities of the countries in Africa have electricity and internet access. Even so, not everyone in those cities are able to use the internet because the cost of just 20 hours of internet time may cost more than a person could make in a month.Mobile phones are very popular in Africa. Africa, for the most part, skipped land lines and jumped straight into the cell phone craze. Many Africans love their cell phones just like Americans. The major difference is that many Africans do not have smart phones with access to the internet.
African kids enjoy sports like most other kids throughout the world. Soccer (called "football" in Africa) is very popular. If African children do not have a soccer ball, they will make one out of plastic bags and bits of string. 
Another popular "toy" in Africa is a tire that is pushed along by two sticks. (see photo) It is harder than it looks to keep the tire balanced.
