What to do with kids during the haze in Singapore
🦦 Short answer from Ollie: check the live air first, then take play indoors when the haze is up. Singapore has lots of options, from free libraries and playgrounds to climbing walls, bowling, ice rinks and museums. At home, crafts, baking and indoor games work well with the windows closed. Below are 34 indoor ideas, all on our indoor activities map.
Step 1: a quick check of the live air
Open the Haze Buddy homepage for your region. The big number is the 1-hour PM2.5. MOH says to use the latest 1-hour PM2.5 reading to plan activities in the next few hours. The smaller number, the 24-hour PSI, is for planning tomorrow.
