Parent-child bonding through sports with KidZania Singapore and AIA Singapore

SINGAPORE - KidZania Singapore, Singapore’s latest family edutainment theme attraction, announced the official opening of its kid-sized Stadium within the indoor city. In partnership with AIA Singapore, the KidZania Stadium offers opportunities to cultivate skills and sporting values in kids through various role-play activities, and for parents to bond with their children through sports.

 

To commemorate the occasion, Ledley King, Tottenham Hotspur’s legendary former captain and England international defender, currently a Club Ambassador, made a surprise visit to the Stadium as part of AIA’s long-term partnership with Spurs. Joined by executives from AIA Singapore (AIA) and KidZania Singapore, Ledley opened the Stadium before guests, club fans and their children. Ledley also met with 14 young aspiring footballers from VOX @ Singapore Children’s Society and Special Olympics Singapore. The Singapore Children’s Society is KidZania Singapore’s Corporate Social Responsibility Partner, while Tottenham Hotspur has a long-standing global relationship with the Special Olympics movement. The launch also saw Ledley referee a friendly unified match among the youths from both charities at the Stadium. Prior to the match, the youth were trained by two coaches who had undergone a Coach Development Programme jointly organized by Tottenham Hotspur and Special Olympics Asia Pacific last year.

 

KidZania Singapore is one of the five in the world with a stadium within the City. Kids at the Stadium can take on a friendly challenge with other kids as a Telematch Participant or a Football Player. For a different point-of-view, they can cheer the teams on as a Cheerleader, or be the voice of the games as a Sports Commentator Assistant. In the process, kids can learn sporting values such as discipline, team work, and perseverance, as well as presentation skills. Parents can observe the little ones in action and bond with their kids as spectators at the Stadium.
