The preschool child is “intimate and intensely connected with the immediate environment in which he lives. Moreover, this environment is most important to him, with it and with the help of it the preschool child acquires the first knowledge, but not only that, he actually structures his way of thinking and understanding himself and the world with the help of his environment” (Jurdana, 2015: 17). At the same time, the environment should enable children to get acquainted with their cultural heritage, both material and oral. Children love the legends that are related to their homeland and that is where the possibility of countless activities based on legends from their own region lies. In the area of the town of Umag and its immediate surroundings, there are very few recorded legends and stories left, which makes it even more necessary to pass them on, as oral heritage, to future generations. This paper provides an overview of the activities that sought to convey one of the preserved legends, the Legend of Rosamund and the shepherd, in working with children from the Kindergarten "Radost" from Umag.
