We all know how most kids are – full of verve and prancing around whole day long. Sometimes it can get too boisterous, not to mention hot and sweaty. This year-end holiday, why not give your kids a great way to use their unbounding energy, albeit without a whole lot of physical exertion?
An inaugural two-day holiday programme hosted by United Square is set to keep your child engaged and entertained. Featuring indoor activities targeted at 9- to 12-year-olds, participants will get to exercise their minds, hands and body while they have fun trying new experiences.

The lantern is often used as a symbol to represent Chinese culture. Ever wondered why? Let Hua Language Centre share with your child the cultural origins and folklores associated with the Chinese lantern.

As cherry on the cake, participants will make their own Moon Lantern so that they can bring it home as a souvenir to remember the workshop by.
Hua Language Centre is one of the pioneer Chinese enrichment centres in Singapore founded by Chinese language educators from MOE and NUS. With almost 30 years of experience, Hua has taught generations of children who are now sending their own children to Hua for Chinese classes!
