Have they been forgotten? This book gathered the melodies, rules, movements of 50+ games and songs. Lyrics and music melody lines are included for 50+ songs including "Oranges and Lemons", "Green Grass", "Oats and Beans and Barley", "Hickory, Dickory, Dock", "Garden Game", "The Sleeping Princess"... These games are still being played in the open air, but also at home if there's room enough. Rhythm is a fundamental principle of life, and childhood is the time when the physical nature is most sensitive to rhythmical movement. Just as we aim to cultivate a child's taste in literature by our choice of stories for telling in school, so should we try to cultivate a taste for beautiful and harmonious sounds, by the use of good music for marching and songs. Reviews: "These Singing Games have been preserved by oral tradition over such a long period of time that they must contain something which is peculiarly attractive to children. Under the guise of amusement, of a kind that children dearly love, these games bring into play many of those mental and physical activities which it is the special function of education to develop. They stimulate the dramatic and mimetic faculties, feed the imagination, exercise the voice and limbs, teach discipline and restraint, and inculcate lessons in courtesy and good manners." "Right dancing can cadence the very soul, give nervous poise and control, bring harmony between basal and finer muscles, and also between feeling and intellect, body and mind." Dr. Luther Gulick of New York, speaking of the experiments in teaching Folk-dancing, says: "If we can enrich childhood by giving children dance games; if we can give young people wholesome, interesting, and beautiful group activities; if we can add to the social resources for the leisure time of adults, then this movement for the resurrection of the folk-dance will be worthwhile, for it will help to make life more vivid, happy, and wholesome."

Book Description
Excerpt from Rhythmic Games and Dances for Children M. Jacques-dalcroze, whose system Of Eurhythmics is attracting so much attention in the educational and musical world, maintains that move ment, being instinctive in man, the study of music should begin by careful and experimental teaching of movement. He says: This is based in earliest childhood on the automatic exercise of marching, for marching is the natural model of time measure. By means of various accentuations with the foot I teach the different time measures. Pauses (of varying lengths) in the marching teach the children to distinguish durations of sound; move ments to tune with the arms and the head preserve order in the succession of the time measures, and analyse the bars and pauses. The beneficial effect of rhythmical movement in the case Of mentally deficient children is already recognised, and it is claimed that in the case of normal children the effect of its more elaborate use will be greater, and that among other things, neurasthenic tendencies may be removed.
