About

A poetry slam where the kids are the jury. Well-known adult slammers from across Germany take the stage with texts they wrote themselves, and the children in the audience score each one and decide who gets the crown. It suits kids who enjoy rhymes, raps and stories, and who follow spoken German easily, since the words are the whole show.
