Reading festival in Demmin: Students promote elementary school students in a playful way!

A highlight of the week was the competition on Friday in the Beermann-Arena, in which the students had to solve tasks in teams that both listened and required logical thinking. Here the motivated children were able to collect reading points and have a lot of fun.
