Jeux d'enfants ("Children's Games") Op. 22, is a suite of twelve miniatures composed by Georges Bizet for piano four hands in 1871
The entire piece has a duration of about 20 to 23 minutes.

- Petit mari, petite femme duo (Little husband, little wife)
- Le bal galop (The ball) (this one)
Bizet orchestrated five of these; Nos. 6, 3, 2, 11, 12 became his
Petite Suite; it is probable he also orchestrated No. 4,
This is my arrangement of
one movement - no. 12 (no. 5 in the petite suite)
Arranged double wind quintet and bass,
Flute 2 plays piccolo throughout.
Clarinet parts are for clarinet in A.
