Educational summer activities

Published Apr 21, 2018 12:05 am
By Allyza Quirante As summer vacation rolls in, it’s the best time of the year to encourage our children to pursue their hobbies and have some fun. And we don’t have to look far from home! We’ve found a variety of workshops and activities that cater to the different interests of our kids. 1 A delicious way to build teamwork As parents, we always make sure to instill good values in our children, which we hope they can share with their peers in the future. McDonald’s annual Kiddie Crew Workshop helps our kids learn how to work with others and build their social skills, by allowing them to take their stations behind the counters. The Kiddie Crew Workshop offers various workshop schedules you can choose from, like the jam-packed weekday workshop that runs for five days with each session lasting for two hours. They also offer a weekend workshop, lasting for three hours per session, enough to give kids a sample of their play-based activities. Some of the activities include making your own cheeseburger, energizing singing and dancing exercises, and serving delicious orders with pleasant smiles behind the drive-thru window.
