9 fun activities for kids on holiday

It’s the holidays again – we can almost hear the mantra-like chant of your kids, telling you just how bored they are. We feel for both you and your little ones, which is precisely why we’ve come up with this list – 9 fun activities that will get your little ones up on their feet and out of the house!

1. First Kick Soccer Camps

First Kick provides the training your mini soccer star needs to develop their skills. Camps are conducted during the holidays at the First Kick Academy in Kallang. They take place over a span of 2 days from 9am till 12pm for just $120 per child, plus you get an early bird discount if you sign up early! So don’t wait any longer!

2. Ace Dolphin Swim School

Every child should be able to experience the feeling of just letting your worries melt away with a good swim, plus it’s a good skill to have! Ace Dolphin Swim School will give your kids the ability to master the waters through a 5-week programme. With classes going all in public pools all over the island, you won’t have to worry about the distance!

3. Kallang Ice World

It really is a pity we don’t enjoy the enchantment of a white Christmas. That in no way means your child should miss out on the glee of ice-skating! Kallang Ice World ensures your child receives, in full, the joys of an ice rink. At only $150 a head we’re sure your child will be skating like a pro in no time!

4. Dan the Hat

Enter Dan’s magical world of trickery – he will bring your children behind the curtains of illusion and guide them in performing the same acts! Objects will be made to appear from hats (even that of a stranger), plates will be spun and there will even be a little juggling thrown in! Explore this magical world at just $380.

5. ACT 3

Do you find that your child can be loud and expressive? Do you sometimes feel you don’t know how to control them? You might just have a little actor or actress on your hands – and they may just need somewhere to channel all this wonderful energy. ACT 3 has just the thing for you, a week-long workshop designed around getting your kid to tell stories through movement and expression. Workshops are at $300 per child – who knows, the next big Hollywood star might just be on your couch.

6. Computer Programming

Today’s children are tomorrow’s future – they really are, so why not present them with the opportunities needed to bring out the best in them? Saturday Kids aims to teach and develop the thinking skills of young children by showing them how to create a computer game for starters! We all know they love to play the games, now imagine if they could make one! For $180 a head your child can discover their inner Mark Zuckerberg (that guy who founded Facebook, of course!)

7. My Art Studio

Art has always been an amazing way to keep the boredom bug away while letting your child creatively illustrate their feelings! With 6 Christmas based art programmes, there is everything from stained glass to self-portraits. Let you child choose which workshop they are most excited about! Courses range from $55 to $265, register as a group for special prices.

8. Singapore Children’s Forum

In this busy world of ours, the voices of our children are often drowned out. We may forget that they have this fascinating ability to think far beyond the box of normality. Singapore Children’s Forum gives your child the chance to speak up and voice their thoughts and opinions on matters that affect them. This is a free event, but be sure to register you child!

9. Metropolitan YMCA Camps

It’s important to get your children out of the house, fresh air and sunlight will do them more good than you know! Let them have a taste of good ol’ fun, back when the outdoors was a child’s favourite place. With any of the six camps organised by the YMCA, kids get to indulge in the joys of outdoor camping and play. Camps are at $235.40 for non-members (members enjoy the special price of $256.80)
