8th grade German Olympics

Deutsch Olympiade

Rhyming - storytelling - paraphrasing and acting: These are the four “Olympic” disciplines in which six learning groups of mother and partner tongue with a total of 45 participants competed against each other in the “Aula” on Thursday, July 10., 2025

Sentences with mostly matching end rhymes were assembled into funny stories, beginning and end sentences provided the framework for bizarre stories, terms had to be carefully paraphrased and guessed, as in the TABU game, and the acting part required physical effort in addition to the linguistic performance.

And all of this with only 2 minutes of preparation time - in other words: high-performance sport!

All the teams tackled these tasks with great enthusiasm and remarkable creativity. The winners were the mother tongue group of 8d and the partner tongue group of 8c/d, who each won 1st prize. Congratulations!

A big thank you goes to Ms. Kolb for preparing and moderating this annual great event and to the four-member jury from Year 9, who did not make it easy for themselves to determine the winning groups and found words of appreciation for all teams. (report: Astrid Bursian)
