The elements that belong to the cultural memory are transmitted by the types that belong to the oral tradition in the societies which don't have written language but have oral culture. In the process of this transfer, the education which Bascom lines up among the functions of folklore that is the function of the movement of culture to the future generations overlaps to the function of the camel game-the subject of our work. This camel play is based on a real immigration event. After that, this event is mythicized by adding extraordinary elements. In the next stage, this legend is formatted like a play and then it is turned into a method for encoding cultural identity and today this method is used actively and consciously.
