Goodday with Wonda, Keluang Man and Astro Shaw at Kidzania

Sebrinah Yeo April 01, 2024 0

Another day to record for my memories. A day my kids enjoyed their time at Kidzania. Ever since the pandemic it has been awhile since they’ve been to Kidzania and so much has changed.

One of the activities they attempted near the entrance was the Goodday Charge where they had to workout to get healthy. This concept itself played a huge role for my kids as my kids are also on their losing weight journey as I don’t want them to be obese as they get older. Hence this activity trained them to work their hardest to ride the bicycle that helps charge up the blender to blend their healthy smoothie and be rewarded with the Goodday smoothie after the workout! It basiclaly replicates the act of an adult who goes to the gym to sweat it out and reward themselves with a healthy treat afterwards to refuel their energy.

Then they experienced the wall climbing activity where it was in cooperation with Wonda Coffee, Astro Shaw and the local Malaysian hero cartoon character Keluang Man! From this activity my kids get to experience the adventure of breaking through their fear of heights. Although they didn’t reach for the top but they did their best and didn’t give up. This itself taught them many life values in return. From not giving up too soon, doing their very best, facing their fears and finding their way to make it was in itself a victory!

As a parent I was so proud of them, as many will probably just give up without trying but they know that if you want something, you have to do your best and keep going even when it is uncomfortable. My eldest is afraid of heights but he made it halfway to the top, my second boy was also afraid but he did his best to find a way despite the obstacles infront of him, he didn’t give ip and kept trying even though he didn't make it halfway but I was able to witness him trying his best.

There were many other new activities on board like the FoodPanda grocery shopping and delivery, the Royal Canin Veterinary, the Famous Amos outlet and they brought cookies back, also the TV news reporter that I was equally proud of them because they were able to read the teleprompter on live TV. Although it was funny but they never complained or gave up.

At the end, they wanted to spend on toys but Kidzania is hood because it teaches them the value of it. Despite doing several jobs and making Kidzos they were still unable to get the toys they want. It indirectly teaches them the value of hard earned income from their effort and it is not an overnight success.

They had lots of fun and learned the value of hardwork effort and making money. But they had fun at the same time, I get to teach them the value of life to prepare them for the real world.

KidZania Official Partnership With BFM 89.9

Bringing my kids to KidZania Kuala Lumpur is my most greatest joy. Because I get to watch my kids learn life and explore new adventures and watch them grow.

Although there are some establishments that I am unable to see my kids participate because they have yet to reach the appropriate age limit or height limit yet. And one of them is the radio announcer. Because my son just started learning how to read this year.

Today officiates the official partnership between KidZania Kuala Lumpur and BFM 89.9 radio station. And with this partnership, many may wonder, what benefit can they bring to our children?

I must say I am more than impressed because, being a radio announcer is not easy and it takes alot of skills to be a great one! Hence, watching the live demonstration today on this new establishment really opened my eyes to this job scope for my kids.

I like how the program is conducted to teach our children how to read from the script on the screen infront. It allows our children to build their courage to speak into the microphone and to read out the words on the screen and interact with another person.

It is done like an interview and interviewee, social interaction where several parties take turns to ask questions and answer them appropriately. It teaches children to take turns and also to step up and lead the conversation when it's their turn. It also helps to improve their reading skills and pronunciation skill at the same time.

It was a good eye-opener session as you can view in the video above. There's just so much kids can learn these days and this is just one of the most important social skills that will surely benefit children these days!

Come to KidZania to allow your child to Learn Life and Explore today!

KidZania Be A Star is back! (Season 2)

tealive

Sebrinah Yeo December 01, 2019 0

This time of the year is my favourite! School holidays gets even better with KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s Be A Star variable school-holiday programme that is now back for a second season by popular demand! The second season of the Be A Star programme promises to be bigger, better and more glamorous, with the aim of exposing young kids to the dynamic world of performing arts and entertainment through fun and engaging learning experiences.

My son will be thrilled! And I will most probably be frequently coming back to KidZania this month more often just for him. Because with KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s Be A Star programme, it is the ideal platform for young ones to shine and express their creative talents through specially curated activities and workshops, including the highly lauded STARZ Talent Contest, which will make a comeback with more alluring prizes such as a Canon iNSPiC C, Canon TS8270 Inkjet PIXMA, one year’s worth of TeaLive supply (52 cups) and also breakthrough prizes from TeaLive, a visit to BFM radio station, cash prizes from Fraser and Neave (F&N), hampers from SUU Balm and more. I don't know how far my son's talent can go but I know he loves entertainment and music especially. He just needs to courage to be brave in public, and it takes practise. Thankfully, I can bring him to KidZania for a good practise!

KidZania Be A Star programme are with collaborating partners comprising Canon, TeaLive, Suu Balm, Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC), F&N, BFM 89.9, the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS) and Aqademi.

During the launch, Shahrul Nizar Ahmad, Mayor of KidZania Kuala Lumpur said, “As we are all aware, some of the best and biggest dreamers out there are kids. So this school holiday, we want to give kids the “star treatment” they truly deserve by exposing them to performing arts and entertainment industry based activities like acting, modelling, singing, dancing, grooming and hosting while also exposing them to today’s current technology to truly give them a hands-on, in-depth experience of what it would be like to ‘Be A Star’.”

“The return of the STARZ Talent Contest this year also brings an exciting element to the mix. There are many kids who possess various talents but don’t get the opportunity to showcase them within the four walls of the classroom setting. Not only does this talent contest allow participants the opportunity to discover what they are good at, it also encourages healthy competition as well as equip them with important life skills as they learn the value of critical feedback, both positive and constructive. Moreover, what we offer is a safe, educational, family-oriented way to gain knowledge about the talent industry,” he added.

Submission of entries for the STARZ Talent Contest will open from 16 to 30 November 2019. The four contest categories include Star Model, Star Singer, Star Presenter and Star Dancer. Aspiring young stars are encouraged to submit an audition video showcasing their talents in singing, dancing, acting or modelling. After which, three finalists from each category will be shortlisted to battle it out at the Final Stage on 28 December 2019. KidZania Kuala Lumpur’s Be A Star programme runs from 23 November to 3 January 2020 to coincide with the year-end school holidays.

Staying true to KidZania’s philosophy of empowering children to “Learn Life Today”, the programme encourages the development of core life skills that will prepare kids for the future such as overcoming shyness, building confidence, and developing positive self-esteem, learning proper etiquette and good manners, and strengthening the ability to interact with others. Apart from the talent contest, six main activities and six weekend workshops will be featured amidst a special activity exclusively for loyalty programme members and other establishment activities to take place within KidZania Kuala Lumpur.
