We walk 3.5km at POSB PAssion Run for Kids

[ Media Invite ]

POSB PAssion Run for Kids 2016 happened last weekend, families were out in force to join the walk or run, for a good cause.

To quote from POSB “The POSB PAssion Kids Fund aims to support children in the community through different programmes in Singapore.”

This is the 8th edition of Passion Kids Run, we were enrolled for 3.5km Family walk, some were there early to run 10km.

Start point is at Marina Bay Promontory.

Point our shoes forward, let’s go. Some ran, some walk, we all had an enjoyable morning.
Kudos! We heard a million dollars was raised for this community event.

So many happy families were out to enjoy the morning, no Haze! It does make us appreciate clear blue skies and fresh air, I hope kids will not take our environment for granted.

As 3.5km participants started late, it was quite hot when we reach the finishing line.

At the carnival site, food, sports, exercise await participants. The most popular stalls should be ice cream, followed by rock climbing πŸ™‚

Board game Risk – my childhood game

Enemy of enemy is a Friend.
No friends and enemy are permanent.
Alliances are worthless when there are conflicts of interest.

Be it Strategy, Treachery or pure luck.
Everyone had fun with Hasbro’s Board Game Risk.

Thanks to Hasbro, we need not buy extra Christmas gifts for year end. Guys got the guns and robots, while girl had more choices! (MyLittlePony, Playdoh and such).
Boon Xin is a very happy girl.

I was looking forward to my childhood game, Risk! Used to spend so much wonderful hours challenging and beating my old neighbours.

We can see the kids’ characters when they play the board game Risk.
Some hate to lose, some always boasts :p
They are upset when someone betray them, or deny them a continent haha!

Some life skills can be imparted during the game too.
– Think one step ahead. What if Neighbour change card and Attack?
– Have a Plan B, in case things (dice throw) do not go your way
– Attack the strongest, eliminate the weakest, then no2 and no3 can contest each other

I got interested in Geography through Risk. Where are you, Siam, Mongolia, and Siberia etc etc?
Go on, take a Risk with the little ones, I am sure there will be some tense moments but kids should enjoy the game πŸ™‚

Do you have more tips to share?
