campfire songs
Fireside group music
Campfire songs are simple, participatory songs traditionally sung around a fire at camps, scouting events, or outdoor gatherings.
They tend toward repetition, call-and-response patterns, and easy melodies that groups can learn quickly: We taught the kids campfire songs like "Kumbaya" and "This Land Is Your Land".
The genre favors singalong accessibility over musical sophistication.
