singing games  

Definition

  • Singing games, also known as call-and-response songs, are children's games where play is accompanied with the singing of a narrative song. Music, rhythm, and imagination intermingle to create a potent means for fostering social relationships and remain an intangible link between folklore of the past and the present.
