bedtime rhymes
Nighttime nursery songs
Bedtime rhymes are short verses recited or sung to children at bedtime, often to soothe them to sleep or establish a nighttime routine.
The category overlaps with lullabies and nursery rhymes but emphasizes the ritual of settling down: We always say our bedtime rhymes before lights out.
