4 Budget-Friendly Ways To Show Your Love For Football Or Soccer

This article is dedicated to the hardcore fans of the entertaining and vigorous sport where you kick the ball by foot to score a goal. In Singapore, this sport is either called Football or Soccer while in other parts of the world such as United States and Canada…you call it Soccer.

Nonetheless, here are the 4 budget-friendly ways to show your love for the coveted sport:

1. WATCH WHILE ENJOYING A DRINK

Watch the World Cup game with a drink from Brewerkz. Brewerkz, Singapore’s first microbrewery restaurant, serves handcrafted beers to suit every palate. Their mock-tails and other non-alcoholic drinks cost about S$6-9. While, the alcoholic drinks (i.e., excluding the handcrafted beers) cost about S$11-26. Game starts at 7:30 pm so, get in the restaurant early to secure a good spot across the 10 flat screen TVs.

3. GO TO BEACH

Nothing screams fun with kids more than a sunny day at the Palawan Beach at Sentosa. Enjoy building sand castles, splashing water, and running around on the shore with your children. It is not only fun for them but it will definitely send them to a peaceful sleep afterwards. And if your child is still fueled with energy, experience the beauty of nature and the variety of its species as you go to Imbiah Lookout, Sentosa’s Butterfly Park & Insect Kingdom. An admission rate for children aged 3-12 is S$10 while it is S$16 for adults.

4. BRING YOUR CRAFTS ON

Gather the available Arts and Crafts you have at your house to make a crafts box. If you fall short with items such as scissors, glue, crayons, stickers, and assorted colored papers, you can always go to Daiso as everything is priced at S$2 only. Each kid has a unique artistic expression so it is best to introduce your child to the different outlets such as drawing, singing, music, or dancing. The cost of these outlets is less than S$10!

5. EDUCATE AND AMAZE THEM

Activate your child’s imagination by going to the libraries or museums. At the libraries, you can save more money by borrowing books and graphic novels rather than buying them. At the museum, you can ask your children to imagine that they are traveling in a different place as an archeologist, a historical writer, or an adventurer.
