Tired of the school holiday planning hustle? You’re not alone. The September school break should feel like a break, not stress. Here’s our ready-made checklist, mapping out a week of engaging activities that your kids will love. From outdoor play to quality time with friends to, yes, learning a new skill like cycling with Pedal SG. Get ready to make this holiday a perfect mix of active fun and family memories.

 

Creative Play (At-Home Bonding) 🎨🍪🔬

Some of the best moments happen right in your living room or kitchen. Set up an art & craft corner with simple materials and let your kids’ imagination take flight. For a little inspiration, suggest they design a Teacher’s Day card or sculpt their favourite cartoon character with play-doh.

Get them involved in baking simple treats like muffins, DIY bicycle-themed cookies, or even fun no-bake goodies. Kids love measuring, mixing, and of course, tasting!  

For curious minds, try safe, exciting, and educational science experiments such as making slime or a mini volcano. These little activities not only keep kids engaged but also spark creativity, teamwork, and laughter at home.

Explore Outdoors (Fresh Air Fun) 🏃🌿🪁🌇

Step outside and give your kids the gift of nature and movement. Plan a day of park runs or playground hopping, where they can stretch their legs and explore different play spaces across the island. (Tip: Sassy Mama has a handy compilation of Singapore’s best playgrounds!) Our personal favourite? Playgrounds by the beach — where a refreshing breeze makes it perfect for some good old-fashioned kite-flying fun. We’ve even got a simple DIY paper kite craft you can try at home before heading out!

If your kids are up for something new, discover scenic cycling trails together — a healthy way to enjoy Singapore’s parks while soaking up the outdoors. Try family-friendly routes along East Coast Park or Jurong Lake Gardens, both designed with wide paths for safe cycling. For a touch of adventure, head to Northern Explorer Loop or Western Adventure Loop — child-friendly trails, lush greenery, just the right dose of escape from screens.

Bonding with Friends (Screen-Free Gatherings) 🤸⚽🏸🚲

School holidays are the perfect time for kids to reconnect with their friends, and it doesn’t always need a screen. Organise a mobile-free catch-up day, where kids can focus on playing, chatting, and enjoying each other’s company. Plan a mini football or badminton match at a nearby park for some active fun and friendly competition. 

For something different, invite a few friends over for a cycling playdate; the kids get to ride together, learn from each other, and share laughter on two wheels, while parents can enjoy watching friendships grow stronger.
