The Kidz Academy is back during the June School holidays from 9 to 11 June 2017 at Suntec Singapore Halls 404 to 406. This year, the organisers are introducing new additions to the three-day event which will showcase Singapore’s rich history.
The Kidz Academy Storyland, a segment featuring live theatrical acts based on Singapore’s urban legends: The Legend of Bukit Merah, The Legend of Badang and history of Sang Nila Utama. Also on board is National Library Board as the Official Storyland Partner, presenting another Singaporean folklore. Click here to register for slots on Friday, Saturday and Sunday.
A colouring and art contest will be held for the first time at The Kidz Academy, themed on Singapore’s folklores and legends. The contest will be open to children from ages five to 12 years old with prizes worth more than $1,000 in total to be won.
The event will also feature back-to-school games, activities and food from the 60s to 90s with the objective of introducing children to a non-digital era that their parents have grown up in.

Partnering with Youth Leader Singapore, the event will debut TKA Care Challenge: a collaborative effort between ten local primary schools to raise an amount of $10,000 for The Straits Times Pocket Money Fund. The students will be creating special knick-knacks made from mostly environmentally-friendly materials to be sold at the respective schools and during the three-day event.
Another fundraising effort will witness the organisers working with The Salvation Army Singapore to raise funds for its local causes through The Kidz Academy Book Cart, making its round to schools, offices and the event venue to sell second-hand children books from local and international authors at a fixed price of $2.90 each.
