We want to nurture aspirations in our kids from a young age, but how are we able to do this? With our busy workdays and the kids’ structured school and activity schedule, when do we have the time to do so?
Most kids in Singapore have multiple enrichment classes lined up (mine included), however it is important to incorporate some form of entertainment into learning. That is why my boys and I often find ourselves at KidZania Singapore on a free afternoon after school!
Most of us would have already been to KidZania Singapore, and if you have not, you definitely need to check it out. Or even if you have, it is never too much to visit again! We all know it is a super fun place for kids, but one thing we might not realise is the true “Edutainment” (education + entertainment) value that KidZania offers.
Kids learn through play : Let me explain what I mean.
Most kids love candy & popsicles, but do they actually know how they are made? Most of us adults probably don’t know either (LOL). At KidZania Singapore, kids are challenged to think outside the box and learn about the “how” and “why” – they get to experience things first hand!
Kids are challenged with new roles and activities, and much like the real world, each job they decide to pursue requires different skill set that they need to learn.
We all know that kids love to role-play. Most times at home our role-play consists of superheroes & princesses, but at KidZania Singapore, it’s structured, focused and real.
KidZania Singapore encourages kids to be anyone they want to be.
From an Assistant Petrol Station Manager to a Radio DJ to a Surgeon, no job is too big or too small, and all deserve our respect. The choice on what job to pursue is up to the kids. Using their independent thinking skills, it’s up to the kids to choose what job(s) they want to experience, which will determine how much money (aka kidZos) they will earn or spend.
We all understand the importance of teamwork and group assignments, but often during the school holidays and after-school, the focus is on “individual” development and enrichment. At KidZania Singapore, kids get the opportunity to work as individuals and as a valued team player where they can learn real life skills of collaboration, sportsmanship and other important values.
For many of these young eager kids, the jobs they embark on at KidZania Singapore might be the only time they really get to explore the many different facets of each specific role that individuals in our society currently play. Kids can discover the endless possibilities that the world has to offer as kids learn through play.
Now hopefully you can see why my boys and I love KidZania Singapore so much and why you too should make this a regular place to visit. 🙂
