I found this poem last week while flicking through ‘Katzensprung’ and loved it so much, I had to create a display in our German classroom.

Der Schnee ist weiB

Die Lippe Rot

Schwarz das Haar

Und braun das Brot

Das Blatt ist grun

Das Wasser blau

Bananen gelb

Elefantan grau

Do you recognise lots of words in this poem? I’ll bet you do.

We tried to read the poem in English as well but it just didn’t have the same ring to it!
