Museum Victoria Play & Folklore Subject & author index (issues 1-55) Play & Folklore (formerly the Australian Children's Folklore Newsletter) SUBJECT & AUTHOR INDEX (issues 1-55) Specific individual games, rhymes etc can be found within this overall alphabetical subject & author index. 1) Unsure of the specific name or title of some game, rhyme, song, marble you seek? As a memory jolt perhaps you can pinpoint it within a separate specialised CATEGORY INDEX. These list just the names (or first lines) of items in that genre and where it appears in the Play & Folklore newsletters (including issue/page locators). We currently have CATEGORY INDEXES for: - Games - Rhymes - Songs - Parodies - Taunts and teases. You will also find reminders of these CATEGORY INDEXES at suitable places in this subject & author index. 2) References throughout are to the Newsletter issue # : page #. 3) Specific (or even general) suggestions or corrections are welcomed to assist improvements in this index as it is regularly updated. 1, 2, 3 - & your old girl back (1920s Toodlembuck chant) 3: 3-4 47: 15 - Mother caught a flea... 32: 10 - Nanny... 24: 6 [rhyme: counting out] - 4, 5 14: 6 [rhyme] 10-12 year olds in the playground 24: 11 10-13 year olds, privacy spaces for 24: 12 1364 manuscript [Bo-Peep, Peek-Bo or Peep-Bo] 17: 4 1100s, Chinese games in 51: 6–10 52: 13-17 1500s, Chinese games in 52: 13-17 1700s - 1744 nursery rhymes: Tom Thumb’s pretty song book 14: 6 - 1784 nursery rhymes 14: 6-8 - nursery rhyme publications 17: 4 - sonnets for the cradle 14: 6 1800s - Northumberland (source of Toodlembuck?) 4: 7 - nursery rhyme publications 17: 5 - knucklebones were longer games with longer verbal rituals 30-31: 5 - social reformers promoted schools & playgrounds 33: 4 - Tip cat 27: 2 [game] [British Isles] see also Ti moggie 1842 15: 13 1844-1944 25: 3-5 [West Australia] 1860s 10: 4-6 24: 6-7 [counting out rhymes] 1860s Adelaide 27: 3-4 1871 Young Australian’s alphabet, The 24: 2 A Hill Associates service 25/8/15 1 Museum Victoria Play & Folklore Subject & author index (issues 1-55) 1879 Australian ABC book, The 24: 2 1880s Knights of Spain 6: 4 [game] 1880s Wales childhood 53: 26 1890s-1930s 22: 5-9 23: 14-17 - jokes 23: 15 - South Australia 22: 5-9 23: 14-17 1891 first Australian rhymes book 24: 2 1898 Johnny & Jane & Jack & Lou... 1: 5 [singing game] 1900s 7: 3 8: 9-12 12: 4-8 23: 10-12 [Jacks] -early 1900s 3: 3 9: 9-12, 10: 10-14 11: 7 41: 9 [Carlton North] -late 1900s 23: 6 1910s 4: 4 5: 9-14 7: 5-7 12: 4-7 15: 6-11 18: 15-25 - schoolboy collections 18: 15-25 - schoolgirl collections 20-21: 4-13 - jumping rope 28: 9 [Melbourne] see also WW1 1914 24: 6-7 [counting out rhymes] 1917 24: 3-5 [Bulletin] 1920s 6: 10 11: 3, 6-9 20-21: 27, 34 - counting-out rhyme 20-21: 27 - Don’t care… 20-21: 27 [rhyme] - NSW herbal folklore 29: 5-6 - poems 16: 14-15 - Sydney: Ring a ring a rosey... 28: 6-7 [rhyme] [Geelong region 1960s-90s] - I spy with my little eye [game] [UK] [Geelong region] 28: 6 1930s 12: 2-3 20-21: 26 23: 10-12 - Qld 22: 10-12 26: 16[Caboolture] - WA 22: 13-15 23: 8-10 - milk caps 27: 1 [game, USA] 1930s, late 23: 16 1930-40s rhymes 25: 10-11 [UK] 1930s–90s 51: 3–5 1940s 4: 4 9: 5 11: 12-13 15: 11-12 33: 10-13 - games in Cyprus 11: 12-13 - games in Victoria 19: 12-13 - Bairnsdale, Vic 26: 14 - Gippsland Vic 26: 14 - Toodlembuck in Flemington 4: 1 (Vic) [1948] 1950s 9: 5 15: 6 33: 10-13 - Danish counting-out rhyme 25: 17 26: 16 - basketball game 11: 12-13 - chant 13: 11 - football 55: 6-8 - games 4: 7 - marbles 22: 19-23 - Swedish counting-out rhyme 25: 17 26: 16 1960s, late 4: 2, 3 1960s-90s Geelong region: Ring a ring a rosey... 28: 6-7 [rhyme] [Sydney 1920s] 1970s 13: 10-16 15: 1[US] 20-21: 21-23 - rhymes 25: 8-10 (UK) 20-21: 21-23 West Ryde (Sydney) 1970s, late: Thwackers & game evolution 25: 5-7 (Sydney) 1975 Eeny meeny miney moe... 27: 7 [rhyme, changes to] 1979 ACFC established 9: 1 A Hill Associates service 25/8/15 2 Museum Victoria Play & Folklore Subject & author index (issues 1-55) 1980s 4: 4 15: 2-3 - British folklore bibliography 9: 8 - rude rhymes 14: 4 - songs/rhymes/parodies 13: 10-16 1988 marbles’ names 27: 10 [Alphington Vic] 1990s 22: 2-3 (European rhymes) 1990s collecting habits 30-1: 19-20 [boys] 2000s, Chinese games in 51: 6–10 2009 Qld schoolyard games 53: 15-16 2, 4, 6, 8, 10... 24: 6 [rhyme: counting out] 4-6 year olds in the playground 24: 11 5-6 year olds love ‘cubbies’ 24: 12 6-8 year olds confronted by changing fixed playground features 24: 12 7-9 year old girls 22: 4 [Perth] 8-10 year olds, elevated socio-dramatic play areas for 24: 12 8-9 year olds in the playground 24: 11 9-13 year old boys’ collecting habits 18:15-25 [Sydney][1910] 30-1:19-20 [Melbourne] [1992] 10-11 year olds’ games 7: 9 A A - Farmer’s Life [recitation] 16: 14 - friend lost a kangaroo... 3: 5 [rhyme] [English] [Greek] - Guide to Australian Folklore by Gwenda Beed Davey & Graham Seal 43: 20 [photo] - house to let... 10: 10 [skipping chant] - kid in our house this morning... 48: 18 [Qld] [rhyme] - little baby’s crying... 3: 5 (rhyme) [Serbo-Croatian version] - man sat down by the sewer... 46: 17 - pound of tea at 1 & 3, a tin of marmalade jam... 33: 13 [rhyme] - sailor went to sea sea sea 13: 14 [illus] [1980s] [music] - sailor went to sea...
