This graduate work investigates traditional children's musical games from the Lika region, analyzing their historical, cultural and social significance. The aim of the paper is to show how these games, as a form of intangible cultural heritage, contribute to the preservation of local identity and tradition and how they affect the social and educational development of children. The research was conducted through the analysis of available literature, oral tradition and field work, including interviews with older members of the community. A special emphasis was placed on the games that children performed while herding cattle, which was a common task in the rural parts of Lika. Games like "Piljkanje", "Flute game" and "Shepherd's cart" are presented as examples of rich traditional practice. Research results show that these games integrated elements of music, dance and social interaction, providing children with the opportunity to learn and develop through play. Games also served as a way to transmit cultural values, norms and knowledge from one generation to another. Through simple but deeply symbolic activities, the children learned about rhythm, melody, movement coordination, togetherness and cooperation. The paper emphasizes that traditional children's musical games have the potential to strengthen local identity and provide authentic cultural experiences, which can also contribute to the development of cultural tourism.
