Family days are a fantastic opportunity for companies and communities to come together and create memorable experiences for all ages. In 2024, several themes in Singapore are trending due to their engaging, inclusive, and fun nature. Of course, a company should look at its core values and choose one most aligned with its own.
Here are some of the most popular themes and the reasons behind their popularity:
1. Eco-Friendly Adventures
Why it’s popular: With increasing environmental conservation and sustainability awareness, eco-friendly adventures resonate well with families. Activities can include nature walks, recycling crafts, and educational talks on wildlife and plant conservation.
Since it is in line with our core values, we have created a family day package with this sustainability with an eco-magic show, games, and lots of green activities.
2. Space Exploration
Why it’s popular: The fascination with space continues to grow, especially with recent advancements in space travel and exploration. This theme can feature planetarium shows, rocket-building workshops, and interactive sessions with astronomers.
3. Dinosaur Discovery
Why it’s popular: Dinosaurs captivate the imagination of both children and adults. Realistic dinosaur puppets, fossil digging activities, and educational exhibits and display of real fossils can make for an exciting and educational family day.
4. Racing-themed Family Day
Why it’s popular: Cars are always a subject loved by all. If your company consists of mostly Gen Z or majority of the family members are teens, this theme with Go-kart racing will be a hit. Our racing themed family day package can include many fringe activities to occupy everyone, including the younger ones while everyone waits for their turn.
5. Science and Technology Fair
Why it’s popular: With technology becoming an integral part of everyday life, a science and technology fair can be both fun and educational. Interactive exhibits, science show, science workshops, drone demonstrations, and virtual reality experiences are major draws for families.
6. National Day cum Family Day
Why it’s popular: Show nationalism by combining your family day with National Day. You can include costume parades, traditional games stall booths, colouring competition and live food stalls like kachang puteh and muah chee. If your office is near the National Day Parade, hold the event in the evening and cap it off by watching the fireworks display.
7. Carnival Extravaganza
Why it’s popular: A classic theme, carnivals are always a hit with families. Think bouncy castle, arcade games, face painting, circus performances, and carnival games. The vibrant and lively atmosphere appeals to all age groups.
8. Superheroes and Comic Book Heroes
Why it’s popular: With the continuing popularity of superhero movies and comics, this theme is a big hit. Activities can include superhero costume contests, comic book drawing workshops, and meet-and-greets with costumed characters. In our family day, we linked the theme of superhero to the parents who worked so hard for their families and hence everyone could enjoy the fruits of their labour.
9. Mystery and Adventure
Why it’s popular: Adventure and mystery themes captivate the interest of both children and adults. Scavenger hunts, escape room challenges, and mystery-solving games provide engaging activities that encourage teamwork and problem-solving.
