Didactic goal: teaching verbs can can't, must may, will won't.
Aka The seaside children. No pics found. Some more updates (plot, tag geography), confirmed 1976. There were separate teacher's books. But in May 1976 they appeared in the magazine Praxis Schulfernsehen. There also was a flyer from broadcaster WDR.
Update 2: Also aired in 1990. Characters, more plot, tag teens instead of kids.
