10 Family activities for Phase 2 Singapore
It's just a few days before Phase 2 begins. After Staying At Home for most of
Circuit Breakers, families would now have the opportunity to head out once
again. That means it is time to start planning for activities.
10 activities you could do with families
1) Visit the Grandparents and have a family meal
Previously, the rule was to have 2 visitors at one time in a household. Now,
you can have up to 5 visitors at one time.
This means it is now possible to have a meal as an extended family with your
grandparents. You could also meet up with your friends and relatives in the
household. Remember, a maximum of 5 visitors at one time!
2) Dining Out

Missed eating out?
If you are a family of 5 and below, you can head out to your favourite
restaurants or hawker centres to have your meals. Finally, parents do not have
to prepare meals or clean the dishes after a meal!
3) Head to the Beaches
Beaches were closed during circuit breakers. They will reopen in Phase 2.
After months of cooped up at home, a little sun would be most welcoming. Bring
your sunscreen and keep your safe distancing!
4) Explore the Great outdoors
The great outdoors is open for exploring once again. With overgrown lalang and
greens due to Circuit Breaker, it is time to see the wild in its true
splendour. MacRitchie Treetop, Changi Boardwalk, Pasir Ris Mangrove Boardwalk,
Cooney Island, Bukit Timah Natural Reserves, Southern Ridges, Sungei Boleh
Wetland Reserves, Labrador Nature Reserve are some of the spots you can visit.
If you need more inspiration on the great outdoors,
you can refer to this list.
5) Exercise in the Parks
Parks are reopening for exercise. Previously, you can only exercise along the
footpath. Access to parks was limited as carpark were close. From June 19,
parks will reopen as usual for you to enjoy the flora and fauna.
6) Play at Playgrounds
Kids have a lot of kinetic energy. Unless you have a house with a big
yard, your children would be derived from releasing these pent up kinetic
energy. The good news is that the playground will now be open.
7) Shop for new clothes
It's time to head back to the shops for new clothes. The kids would have
probably grew a size or two during circuit breaker, so getting a new set of
clothes and shoes is a must. While you are at it, might as well drop in
the bookstores. Exams are around the corner, so getting a few sets of
assessment books for revision is a must.
8) Play basketball or go for a swim
You can now have a game of basketball or go for a swim at the public pools. If
you are staying in the condo, these facilities will be open too.
9) Go Bowling

If you had spend too much time indoors and am afraid of the sun, bring the
whole family to bowl instead. Treat each pin as a day of CB and see how many
you can knock down !
10) Head to Jewel Changi Airport
Jewel Changi Airport as not even a year old before Covid19 hits us. From a
crown jewel of the nation, it became an empty shell with the giant indoor
waterfall turned off. With shops reopening, it should burst back into life.
While travelling is still restricted, it does not mean we could not head to
the airport to have some downtime.
Just pretend that you are heading there for a journey. Bring a suitcase along
... just for fun
Have fun but stay cautious
Regardless of the things you can do, the threat of Covid19 remains. When you
are out, do continue to wear a mask and observe Social Distancing. Always wash
your hands and stay conscious of your surroundings. If the place is too
crowded and social distancing cannot be done effectively, we would advise
heading back another day when there are fewer crowds.
It is not the time to be complacent. We have the liberty to do certain things,
so make the best use of it and not abuse it.
Stay Safe!
