The June school holidays are approaching, and it’s the perfect opportunity to plan engaging activities for your children. If your kids are between the ages of 9 to 15, you’re in luck. Singapore offers a variety of options that are not only fun but also age-appropriate for upper primary and lower secondary students. Here’s a curated list of ideas to explore:
Try Indoor Rock Climbing

Rock climbing is a great way to help kids build physical strength and confidence. Indoor climbing gyms like Verticlimb offer guided sessions for children and teens, with coaches to help them navigate the walls safely and effectively. It’s a fantastic way to burn energy while learning a new skill.
Explore Fort Canning Park and The Battlebox

For kids who enjoy history and storytelling, Fort Canning Park is packed with heritage trails and hidden landmarks. A visit to The Battlebox—a former WWII command bunker turned museum—can bring historical events to life in a hands-on way that textbooks simply can’t.

For a slower-paced outing, consider a visit to places like Ridout Tea Garden. This quiet park space is great for a mid-day picnic or a peaceful stroll. There’s even a uniquely located McDonald’s nearby, perfect for a casual bite in a scenic setting.
Join a Holiday Revision Programme
If you’re looking to balance fun with academic reinforcement, holiday tuition programmes are a great option—especially in subjects like science that require consistent practice.
Explorer Academy is offering a June Revision Programme from 16th to 27th June, designed for students aged 9 to 15. It includes:
- Group science tuition sessions tailored to upper primary and lower secondary levels
- Free 1-on-1 consultations to tackle individual learning gaps
This blend of structured learning and personal support can help students revise effectively and regain momentum before school reopens.
In Conclusion
The June holidays don’t have to be packed with back-to-back plans. With a mix of physical activity, cultural exploration, and light academic refreshers, your child can enjoy a well-rounded break. Pick and choose what works best for your family—and don’t forget to rest, too!
