Coolest Things To Do This Week With Your Family

Things have been drastically changing this past week, but if you're one of the few lucky ones not on lockdown and still able to roam around the capital, here are some fun activities and places to visit with your kiddos:

As the majority of schools in Beijing shut their doors on Monday and kids have gotten back to virtual learning, families are once again adjusting to the situation. While online school is better than no school, lots if screen time plus not being able to go places and see people can make both kids and parents irritated, to say the least. That’s why Flips&Kicks Plus have decided to host two additional multi-sports camps from Nov 21 and Nov 28. Camps are suitable for kids 4-12. Transportation can be arranged from BSB Sanlitun/German School/Lido/WAB for an extra fee of RMB 500.

Although the German Christmas Market got canceled, there's still something Christmassy to look forward to this weekend. At the German Charity Advent brunch you'll get to shop, dine and experience the fun of Christmas. Santa will make sure to get there in time so it'll be loads of fun for the littlest ones, too.

If your child was in danger, would you know how to stay calm and take control of the situation? If you’re a parent and still haven’t taken a first aid course, Oasis will be organizing a half-day non-certified training for parents and ayis this Sat, Nov 26. The course will teach you practical first aid skills and the most common medical and outdoor emergencies kids are exposed to, such as fever, choking, allergic reactions, drowning, bites and stings. Parents and ayis will also learn how to manage pediatric head injuries, broken bones, falls and burns. The course will be taught bilingually, in both English and Chinese so ayis can fully understand the content and participate in the training. Scan the QR code below to register.
