Regenbogenbandwurmhüpfer

This is a book about writing, fantasising and marvelling. The 130 writing exercises included can be used both at school and at home, in both amusing and serious situations, alone or in a group. The example texts written by children and adolescents serve to stimulate one´s fantasy and help to open up the field of creative writing. One can play with language and with one´s own fantasy; one can discover the world inside and outside with all of one´s senses; one can then write down what has been seen or heard. The inner wealth of children and adolescents literally flows onto paper and induces ever new attempts at writing. This is a book for the study desk, for the kitchen table and for the school desk – one that should always be carried around should the desire to write occur.
