Olé, Olé, Olé.
While the 2022 FIFA World Cup may be drawing to a close, there are still plenty of ways for you and your family to keep the football fever alive.
For example: by kicking a ball around with your little one at the FunFam SportFest happening at Singapore Sports Hub.
There will also be plenty of other sports and activities lined up for you and/or your child to take part in.
My 1st Coach
Friends, providers, heroes, role models, cheerleaders and caretakers - parents wear many hats when it comes to their children.
This includes being their mentor and coach both in life and in sports.
At FunFam SportFest’s “My 1st Coach”, hone your kid’s creativity and problem-solving skills as you participate side-by-side in a series of games and challenges.
The session is 60-minute-long and will consist of you and your child discovering, exploring and experimenting with different fundamental movement skills.
The best part is that you will walk away with the know-how of creating fun and exciting games for your kids at home.
Pssst, there is also an attractive prize not to be missed.
