Bizet orchestrated five of these (Nos. 6, 3, 2, 11, 12) as the Petite Suite. The remaining movements were later orchestrated by Roy Douglas (5 numbers) and Hershy Kay (2 numbers) and the complete orchestral suite has been recorded as Jeux d'enfants. Bizet himself made an orchestral version of No. 8 which he did not include in the suite. It has been recorded by Michel Plasson.
