Naming the Playgroup
» motherhood
I have gotten my books on organising playgroups from amazon.com, still finding time to finish reading them. At the mean time, I thought I could warm up the engine by thinking for a name for the group.
This is as difficult as naming my girl. I roped in my sis to help me. She is a reporter, suppose to be good coming up with names just like writing sensational headlines.
How about Chucky, Ju-on? Not funny!
Then Cutie, Sweetie, Honey? So sweet I felt my teeth decaying.
How about Little Tots, Tiny Tots or Happy Tots? Sounds like spoke-person for those X Tots schools.
Ok, then Kinder Love, Kinder Mom, Mommy Love, Playmates, Angles, Precious, Fun Time, Fun Babies…? Cheesy, anything fresher?
Neverland, Little Rain Drops? Getting there, but what is the rationale?
Strawberry, Blueberry, Orange Tree, Durian Tree….Ok forget it. We will have another naming session again in future.
She is afterall a reporter who is still single and has no affirnity with all things kidish. I will come up with an apporiate name myself.

Hahhaaa…not easy to find an appropriate and catchy name for the group.
Btw, may I know the title of the playgroup books that you are reading? Sounds really interesting.

Hey, you are so organized!! I’m setting up a playgroup here and I never even thought to read up on how to structure one. What books are you reading?
I don’t even have a name for our playgroup. We’re just the “Friday” group for now. There’s a Tuesday group and we are the rejectees from that group (kidding, lah - there would be too many babies if we joined them).

I am just the mom who is clueless what playgroup is all about and need some kind of survival manual for some guidance and also to boost my confidence. Well, scared malu…
The naming part is really just for fun, I like to give names.
Dory, after reading the books, I think the web provides adequet information to start a playgroup for our babies’ age group. I can pass you the books if you are interested, I pass by Gim Moh area every friday, near your place.

Hey thanks for offering to lend the book to me. I’m quite tied up with a lot of reading as well…I’m reading on discipline right now. Will borrow the books from you if I need some reference on running playgroups.
