I am starting a French club after Easter. it is aimed at 0 to 5 years old and is based on play and music.
I would like something that sounds French and fun!

MERCI BEAUCOUP

Something like (although obviously not!) Petits Lapins? (or whatever is French for squirrel/ insert other cute animal).

Petit Lapins

Nontoxic · 16/03/2009 20:42

See, I thought lapins had connotations - doesn't 'hot rabbit' mean 'horny' - or was that a wind up I fell for?

There used to be a language club at DS's infant school years ago - Le Club Tricoleur, which I always rather liked.

hey, petit lapins is nice. I thought about "something" escargot but I don;t know if many people would link it to snail!

no, nontoxic, lapin in French has no 'horny' connotation that I know of

How about something that does what it says on the tin? French version of 'let's play and sing' - sounds clumsy when I say it with my rusty French but there might be an elegant way of saying it!
