The Joyous Book of Singing Games is a historical anthology of traditional children's songs and musical activities collected and arranged by John Hornby. First published in 1914, this work serves as an important record of early 20th-century music education and traditional playground folklore. It contains 92 musical items, featuring full lyrics, step-by-step game instructions, a few photographic illustrations, and complete pianoforte (piano) accompaniments arranged by Hornby. During the late Victorian and Edwardian eras, educators increasingly valued traditional singing games as vital tools for child development. Hornby compiled these specific pieces to preserve oral traditions and provide structured, joyful physical education in schools. The instructions dictate exactly how children should move, circle, or dance while singing.
