Barbara's Rhubarb Bar: Language fun for little word acrobats in Mannheim

Word acrobatics and children's laughter in Barbara's Rhubarb Bar

When Fisher's Fritz catches fresh fish and seven seal pods poke their ribs on the cliffs, it will definitely be fun in the Mannheim city library. In this free poetry reading, children aged six and older will experience rhythmic tongue-twister stories full of rhymes, wordplay, and surprising images with Alexandra Junge.

Rhymes, rhythm, and plenty of tongue-twisting fun

Alexandra Junge will read stories from the book "In Barbara's Rhubarb Bar, rhubarb will never be scarce" and will show original illustrations. The short sequences of sounds invite listening, repeating, and experimenting. Getting tongue-tied is explicitly part of the fun: especially when a tongue-twister doesn't succeed right away, joyful learning moments and shared children's laughter arise.

Aging-appropriate language play for families

The event is aimed at children aged six and older and is particularly suitable for families with elementary school children. Rhymes, repetitions, and language rhythm playfully promote attention, pronunciation, and joy in self-expression. Children discover that language is not only for reading and writing but also for rapping, marveling, and laughing.

A special learning experience in the library

The city library will transform into a creative language space that afternoon. The child-friendly reading connects literature with movement in the head, imagination, and quality time together. The original illustrations help children follow the stories and develop their own images of the unusual characters and situations.

Safe and relaxed participation

As an event in the city library, the reading provides a protected indoor space for families. Participation is free; prior registration at the Neckarau branch is recommended. Please note that there is no information available regarding separate childcare, refreshments, or special parking.

Conclusion: A family experience full of wordplay
