This chapter covers a group of games where children have fun moving to the beat of a song. Even though they may be mixed games, they are mainly be played be girls or girls with very young boys. The song is often accompanied by clapping. The surveys showed very few songs in Basque. The main reason for that is those games were mainly learnt at school and until the 1960s, Spanish was the language used in the classroom and in the playground in Basque speaking areas. The same can be said with regard to French in those areas of Iparralde (northern Basque Country) that are Basque speaking.
