The purpose of this paper is to bring out the ideas about how Korean traditional children's songs should stand in the 21st century of the world. Due to the various movements of populations and fast dissemination of culture through mass media, the boundary of nation is becoming blurred. At the same time, the globalization of the world requests people to understand other cultures and minds as well as understanding their own culture. In this situation, we should think about exporting our traditional music culture to the other worlds and the good example of it. Teaching traditional children's songs to not only Korean children but also to children in other countries is the most important issue at the moment in the multi-cultural music education field. This will, of course, help for the globalization of Korean traditional music culture in the 21st century of the world. Therefore, it is also important to understand other culture's globalization. The Hawaiian's folksong is a case in point. In this paper, the teaching guide of the Hawaiian traditional songs is introduced as one of the schemes for the globalization of Korean traditional children's songs. I hope that a number of more improved teaching materials for Korean traditional songs would be developed in the future and many discussions concerning this issue would be conducted by many scholars in the field of the music education.
