Plot (short): Learning by Singing. Including documentaries. For elementary schools (<= 4th grade. I haven't found any clips yet. Pic taken from a PDF "Dem Ton auf der Spur" by phzh.ch (Pädagogische Hochschule Zürich). Kids should as least sing the refrain.

Obviously used (mainly) or only in Switzerland. According a PDF Medienzentrum Heidelberg (only 1 song listened: The Rain Song, pictured) this was released in 2000. 2004 according a DOC Grundschule (Kreis-hz).

I think the (lyrics) Rain Song is by John Parry (Johnny Parry?) but could be a traditional.  I found a BBC Northern Ireland Education Online PDF ("One Potato Two Potato", radio series, script by Bernagh Brims, story by Bernard McLaverty, 2001). Maybe from BBC's 'Singing Together? Hard to find infos with this title.
