The Use of Games, Songs and Rhymes in Preschool

In initiating this research, our goal was to examine the games, songs, and rhymes used in preschools in order to identify their contribution to the learning of French by children aged 2 to 5. The data collected during our fieldwork confirmed the undeniable contribution of games, songs and rhymes in the learning of French by preschool children. In fact, the preschool occupies a special place in the overall early childhood care system. It is a complementary school to family education and prepares children for elementary school. It is the place for essential experiences and learning that allow children to "grow up". Indeed, the child acquires a language, French, which allows him/her not only to communicate with those around him/her but also to have access to the culture of which the national language is the vector, a language which allows him/her to learn and understand the world in which he/she lives.
