Traditional children's songs are a valuable contribution and template for constructing stage performances, because as such, aesthetically and correctly chosen templates, they develop creative and intellectual development in children, and also encourage the development of originality. Traditional children's songs include: counting, lullabies, children's games with singing, lamentations, chimes, ojkalice and shepherd's songs. Traditional music is part of the identity of one nation, person or an entire state. Ethnomusicology studies traditional music and its progress. Traditional music is reflected through song, folklore, folk costumes, hairstyles and jewelry that was once worn, but is still worn today as a sign of respect for ancestors. Traditional music is transmitted by word of mouth, continuity, variability and selection, and these are also the factors that shape it. By getting to know and studying traditional music, intercultural competencies are acquired and developed. Each culture has a unique form of traditional music, but they connect and intertwine and thus create new musical forms. The results of a survey conducted through an online survey questionnaire indicate that educators use traditional music in kindergarten activities. It is important to mention that they use not only music from their region, but also music from all over Croatia, but also traditional music from different countries around the world. This data points to the fact that intercultural competence of children is encouraged and developed in educational institutions.
