Poems, counting rhymes, lullabies and short songs in different languages

Some storytelling tools (poems, nursery rhymes, stories, ...) have strong educational and intercultural characterization, as they open to the symbolic dimension. In particular, nursery rhymes, characterized by rhythm and repetitiveness, mark the times of childhood and accompany the highlights of a child’s day. Words, onomatopoeias, assonances, rhymes, repetitions and rhythm, often accompanied by facial gestures and expressions, contribute not only to creating the relationship between the adult who recites and the child who listens, but also to promoting the development of language.

In all societies and in all the countries, one of the ways to learn how to speak and use language well has always been exposure to stories, nursery rhymes and traditional songs.
