Flying Superkids

Thu, 19 Jan 2012 16:41:00 +0200

Flying Superkids was founded in 1967 in Denmark as the gymnastics team of the gymnastic club and non-profit organization “Gymnastikgården” (The gymnastic farm). Through the years, it has evolved into a show ensemble where the wonder kids dance, sing and fly through the air. The Flying Superkids’ gravity-defying acts are accompanied by a program of music and songs, making for a performance that has something to please every taste. The show has performed in more than 33 countries since its founding, and is a true one-of-a-kind, not-to-be-missed experience.

What to do with the kids?

Now that school semester is upon us, you may need to start thinking about what to do with the kids on the weekends and after school. And I’m not talking about letting them sit in front of the TV or letting them spend hours playing video games. I’m talking about old-school children’s activities that get kids socially involved and active.

Let them be loud:If your kid is giving off musical genius signals, nurture their musical talent with private piano or violin classes by Baby Symphony instructors.

Let them run wild: If your kid won’t sit still, then let them spend their energy at My Gym. At My Gym, it’s not about running on the treadmill or learning the rules of basketball and sticking to them. It’s about getting kids active without them even realizing that they are, in fact, exercising. And how do they do it? They just play active games that develop their muscles.

Let them be messy: Head to LOLA to indulge your kids in a variety of creative activities from mask-making to building vehicles with recycled materials. They will do all this while speaking English and improving their language skills.

Let them be the drama queen: Get your kids to learn acting while having fun—all for a good cause. Speech Bubbles is a theater group run by volunteers that aims to teach kids English through the use of drama. The group performs a musical production each year in order to raise money for underprivileged children in Turkey. All the proceeds from their performances are donated to charities that support children’s education. (If you want to get a sense of what they do, watch their latest performance of The Witches of Oz at Profilo Shopping Center. The performances will be held on Friday 28th October at 8 pm, Saturday 29th October at 3pm and 7:30pm, and Sunday 30th October at 3pm.)
