The name comes from the fact that the vast majority of the time, these songs are heard on playgrounds and in other public areas that have a lot of children. That doesn't stop them from coming up in other situations, though. "Children's Song," while a more generally accepted term, can also be applied to pretty much anything specifically aimed at prepubescent children (such as songs featured on ''Series/SesameStreet'' and similar TV shows).
