PRESS RELEASE:
Summer is about to close as the month of June drums nearer. We have had our little ones at home for almost two months, but have we really made most of our time with them? With the many things that we need to do at home and in the workplace, we often sacrifice time spent with our children. Now is the best opportunity to start creating wonderful memories that they can look back to once the school starts. Whether you want to make up for the days you were too busy or simply cap off the summer on a good note, there’s still activities available for you and your kids to enjoy. Break free from the usual trips to the mall and try these five activities instead.
1. Watch a theater show!
In a world of video
streaming and smartphones, it is rare to see children not glued to their
gadgets. Introduce them to other forms of entertainment like live theater. Just
make sure that you choose a show that is child-friendly. Look for youthful and
energetic productions that also teach golden values through the story. A good
example of this is PETA’s MgaKuwento Ni Lola Basyang! The play is like a
fairytale book that has come to life as Lola Basyang shares stories of magical
spells, kings and their kingdoms. Without a doubt, you’ll enjoy it too!
2. Join a workshop.
Make your bonding
activity an educational one too! There are plenty of workshops available these
days but pick ones that you can do together as parent and child. This way, it’s
not only you or your kid that gets to enjoy the activity. Rather, you get a
chance to do it together. Afterwards, you can laugh at the little errors that
you made, share the learning that you earned and even display your output at
home!
How about exploring
the art of words with your little one? Filipinos naturally love storytelling.
Our rich folklore is a testimony to that. There are also many ways that you can
create and tell your own story. This is a chance to let loose and be kid
yourself too as you and your child learn how to tell a story in the most
animated way possible!
Simple drawing, coloring and crafts-making are always a big hit with children, but you can make the experience even better by making art together. Producing these little artworks will be a creative experience for the both of you. Watch your kid’s eyes light up as you take this artsy journey as a pair. It will surely be an experience neither of you will forget.
Of course, a Pinoy
family bonding option that never fails is music. Make your bonding experience
emotionally enriching by asking your child what he wants to sing about, and
composing a song together! You don’t even have to be musically inclined to try
it out. Bring out your old guitar or even just a pen and some paper. The song
may not be perfect but your little one will definitely associate it to the fun
you had while writing it.
Fortunately, parents
don’t have to look far for activities like these. PETA has organized a weekend
of bonding activities that the whole family can enjoy together! Mommies and
daddies can take their kids to the PETA Theater Center to watch a show of Lola
Basyang and attend a workshop of their choice. The workshop can be on
Storytelling, Puppetry and Visual Arts, and Music and Rhythm.
Cap off summer with a
fun and learning experience for both parent and child. Join us at the PETA
Theater Center and enjoy a fun-filled afternoon with your kids. Family passes
are available for the MgaKuwento Ni Lola Basyang play and your workshop of
choice. Book your tickets through Ticketworld (http://bit.ly/24tIu7w). You can
also call (725) 6244 local 22-23 or (0916) 4868696 for reservations. #FamilyDayWithLolaBasyang #PETAFamilyDay
