Abstract
The main goal of this paper is to analyze the content and structure of stagey children songs (skipping, rows, swing, playing a game standing in a ring...). These songs are considered to be orally-transmitted compositions, necessarily accompanied by an action that requires either staging or specific body language. I focus on those songs that contain popular and traditional ballads, or parts thereof. Reference is also made to the gradual disappearance of these compositions and the impact of this fact on the way children learn them nowadays, before they are put into writing.
