The start of March brings excitement as students rejoice at the sound of “end of exams,” with the March holidays just around the corner. Aside from getting their homework done, the March holidays are the perfect time for children to explore new activities and play to their hearts’ content. Instead of having them sit at home glued to their phones or the TV, make time this holiday to enjoy some screen-free activities together.
Trapped Escape Room
Trapped.sg offers one of Singapore’s most immersive escape room experiences, catering to students, families, and corporate teams. Each themed room features interactive puzzles and story-driven challenges designed to test critical thinking, teamwork, and communication before time runs out.
For students, it provides a fun yet educational environment that promotes collaboration and problem-solving. Families can enjoy an engaging, screen-free activity suitable for mixed ages, while corporate groups benefit from a structured and scalable team-building experience. With the capacity to host up to 140 participants through multiple rooms or group rotations, Trapped.sg is well-suited for bonding sessions, retreats, and large-scale company events.
Combining immersive design with a strong emphasis on creativity and collaboration, Trapped.sg delivers a memorable and dynamic shared experience.
Triggered Games
Triggered Games at Cineleisure Orchard brings the viral “Floor Is Lava” trend to life with a full-scale immersive arena that challenges players to jump, climb and think fast to stay above the “lava”. Easy to pick up yet highly engaging, the experience is ideal for students and families, while also serving as an energetic corporate team-building activity that encourages communication, strategy and teamwork under pressure.
Sessions can also feature other high-energy games such as Hoops Madness, Press It!, Hexa Blast and Hide & Seek, making it suitable for birthday parties, school outings and large corporate events. Blending physical play with collaboration and friendly competition, Triggered Games delivers one of Singapore’s most buzzworthy group experiences in the heart of Orchard Road.
Sisters’ Islands Marine Park

Pulau Ubin is a great place to unwind and disconnect from the city. However, it can be boring if this is the only island you’ve been bringing your children on every holiday. This time, try visiting Sister Island where you can enjoy a guided walk or boat trip to explore our local marine life. Moreover, water activities are popular in Sister’s Island. Go snorkelling and swimming to get a glimpse of the abundant marine wildlife.
Just note that you’d be required to bring your own gear as rental is not available and to stay away from the channel between the two islands as currents are fast over there.
CLIMBUP

CLIMBUP offers the best climbing program for children and if you’re looking to get your child active, this is the best place to start. The benefit of climbing is beyond just strengthening them physically. It builds confidence, focus, and unstoppable courage. Their skilled coaches ensure that your children are safe while encouraging an action-packed class full of laughter and skill-building. Perfect for children age 4 and up, so if your children are looking to stay away from their phones and build their physique, sign them up for a climbing program this holiday!
Disney on Ice

There is nothing more magical for the young and old than watching their favourite Disney characters come alive on the ice rink, dancing to all their favourite songs. This show is a dream come true for many young girls, as they get to watch their ice queen, Elsa, in her element.
The show is only playing for one week during the school holidays, from 14 to 22 March, so be sure to grab your tickets quickly before they run out!
Slime Making Workshops - SLM it!
One of our highly recommended places to make slime is SLM It!, located at Plaza Singapura. The store is conveniently situated, and its bright colours scream fun for the little ones. Create all kinds of slime in different textures and customise them with an endless variety of trinkets.
This is the perfect activity for both younger and older children, and even teenagers. Not to mention, the final product is both therapeutic and enjoyable.

Water activities are always a hit with children. Not only are they a healthy way to get moving, they also get the whole family out of the house to bask in the sun and bond in a fun way. At PAssion Wave, there are many convenient locations across Singapore where you can enjoy activities such as pedal boating, where four people can paddle together and chat, or kayaking, where you can spend quality time with your partner while the children have fun together.
The best part? PA Water-Venture offers student rates, so you can encourage your teenagers to enjoy the holidays with their friends too.
Bounce Trampoline Park
Long hours on screens, whether on mobile phones, tablets or computers, often cause fatigue. If you want to channel your child’s energy and get them excited about going out again, consider signing them up for a fun and active experience. Bounce Trampoline Park is one of the hotspots loved by many children and youths.
Aside from jumping around, there is a wide range of activities such as climbing walls, basketball, trampoline slides and more. Bounce Trampoline Park will definitely be a hit among older children and teenagers during the holidays, so surprise your child with a ticket this season.
Sports Classes
Signing your children up for sports classes is a great way for them to explore interests beyond academics and screens. In Singapore, there is a wide range of classes that help them develop different skills, from martial arts such as MMA, to archery for focus, and ninja or gymnastics classes for agility. The options are endless, and many of these programmes offer one- or two-day trial courses for your little ones. Sign them up for a few different classes and let them explore their interests before committing fully in the future.
Encouraging your children to develop a passion for a particular activity can help reduce long hours of screen time in the long run. That said, we believe children should still enjoy their holidays by playing in moderation, even if it includes some screen time, while continuing to learn and grow.
