Of all the school holidays activities listing I have done over the past years, this year's March School Holidays activities for kids listing has got to be the shortest one... no thanks to COVID-19. 😥 A lot of attractions, malls and event companies have cancelled or postponed various shows and events but nevertheless, we still have a healthy listing of actvities to keep the kids occupied for the 9-day holiday period.
Of course, be socially responsible and stay home if any of your family member is unwell. HAVE FUN with the kiddos but more importantly, stay safe and healthy!
