German Playgroup in Wellington



We are back. We meet about two Saturdays per month from 1 to 3 pm at the Miramar community centre.  To find out which Saturdays or if you have any other questions,  send us an email to rappelkiste.wellington@gmail.com


We share the German language, traditions, books and friendships.

Join the playgroup fun! We invite you and your children to join us at Rappelkiste. It’s where we play, speak, read and sing in German, where some close friendships have been formed, and where we teach our kids not only language, but also traditions. We’re looking forward to welcoming you, soon!


Please get in touch via email if you are thinking of dropping by for a visit.
