Description

Tembang dolanan are Javanese nursery rhymes familiar to students across Java and included in the Bahasa Indonesia national curriculum as 'local poetry' material. The article describes them as simple, playful and humorous songs carrying messages such as "traditions, virtues, politeness, moral lessons, ironies, hygiene, environmental issues, health and religiosity." In the model, tembang dolanan served "as both the suggestive media and the game," stimulating students to move, sing and play roles according to the rhyme lyrics.
