Abstract

Children's songs and chants are part of folk literature and, like other works of folk literature, are born from the environment and the core of life and society and remain there. A large part of Baloch folk literature and various works of oral literature of Baloch children have not been written down and published. If they are not recorded, examined, and published, some of them may soon disappear or undergo many changes over time. Therefore, we will not be able to access these cultural heritages that have been inherited from the past, and some of our knowledge about these people will remain incomplete. This article attempts to look at Baloch children's literature from this perspective. The research materials in this article are the result of field research and are an attempt to record and introduce these works. These songs and chants reflect some of the characteristics of the environment and culture of Balochistan. An attempt has been made to examine the climatic manifestations and educational functions of some Balochi children's songs in a descriptive and analytical manner. Whether these children's songs are the creation of the minds and languages of adults or of children, the educational aspect of them is also notable. Sometimes we even come across meaningless words, Phrases and sentences in these songs, whose main role is to complement the rhythm and music.
