Jeux d'enfants (Children's Games) Op. 22, is originally a suite of twelve miniatures composed by Georges Bizet for piano four hands in 1871. Bizet's biographer, Winton Dean, considers the suite to be a forerunner of similar childhood-related works by Debussy (Children’s Corner), Fauré (Dolly Suite), and Ravel (Mother Goose) – and one could hardly argue to the contrary. Dean writes that each movement "evokes a facet of childhood, but there is not a trace of triviality, self-consciousness or false sentiment." Bizet orchestrated these six movements for orchestra, arranged here for brass.

1. Trompette et tambour – marche (Trumpet and drum)
2. La poupée – berceuse (The Doll)
3. La toupie – impromptu (The Top)
4. Petit mari, petite femme – duo (Little husband, little wife)
5. Les chevaux de bois – scherzo (Rocking Horse)
6. Le bal – galop (The ball)
