20 Interesting Activities To Do in February That’s Fun For The Whole Family

February is the shortest month of the year, yet there are so many things you can do with the whole family! From doing pilates for a good cause to learning coding at the Apple Store, we have shortlisted nothing but interesting activities that are not only fun but also beneficial for you and your kids.

Get Ready To Mark Your Calendars

1. Be active

The best way to keep fit and stay in shape is together as a family! Engage in different forms of exercise and sports such as long-distance running, yoga and even pilates. You might actually enjoy something you never thought you would. Ever imagined bonding with your family members over dragon boating? Well now you can!

2. Have fun

What’s life without some good ol’ fun? Treat the little ones to a day they’ll never forget. Kick off a day at the beach at the first multi-brand carnival in Asia! Thinking of lunch and play at the same time? You’ll love Sunday Playdates at Clarke Quay, or drop by the Esplanade Recital Studio to catch the whimsical Gullinkambi, a show featuring puppets. Starting your day out in the evening? Walk on the wild side at Rainforest Lumina at The Singapore Zoo!

3. Make art

Unleash your artsy side and get those creative juices flowing with these interesting lineup of events including chalk art drawing, painting, acrylic pour, and creative art therapy. Art is fluid; you have the freedom to express yourself and that’s the loveliest part! Who knows? You and your kids may find a brand new hobby!

4. Get techy

The world of tech never fails to keep us on our toes. Love it or not, technology is an integral part of our lives now. It’s not unusual to hear, “My child taught me how to use the iPad!” or “My child knows social media more than I do”. Why not equip your family with new skills such as coding, photography or drawing using an iPad to make a personalised emoji? Yes folks, let’s embrace the digital age!

5. Acquire knowledge

Exhibitions and workshops are enriching family-bonding activities. Learn more about the climate crisis at ‘The Posthuman City Climates. Habitats. Environments.’ and wildlife at ‘Living Worlds: An Animal Planet Experience’ with your kids!

Parents, you’ll find workshops like ‘The Parent-Coach Dialogue’ and ‘Beat The Stress’ useful in teaching us how to communicate effectively with our children. A sex education workshop for example can help you tackle this rarely discussed yet super important topic without shying away from it.

Can’t wait for February already? Be sure to sign up for a spot that has sparked your interest. Hurry, there are limited slots available! In the meantime, don’t miss out on these Chinese New Year events which are still happening in town (colourful giant floats with Instagram-worthy rats!). If not, you’d have to wait for the next ‘Year of The Rat’ all the way in 2032.
