71 SHORT HAIRSTYLES FOR CHILDREN - DUDAS - 2024

The string for children is a literary device, usually short, where a story is told, with rhyming verses, which in turn are sung into a melody. They are used in the form of word games, help verbal fluency, enrich the child's language and encourage their imagination.

In turn, through these types of musical games, preschool children interact with each other, which constitutes a powerful tool for educational integration and inclusion.

The string is not typical of any country or region, but it is adapted to the language in which it is written. It remains in the minds of the collective for years and is transmitted from generation to generation and is not tied to any specific issue.
