Starchild: Why Malaysian kids can't get enough of the playground
Playgrounds are one of the best places for children to have fun. Kids enjoy going there because there's always something exciting to do. You can climb, swing, slide and run around freely. Is there a playground near your neighbourhood? What do you like best about the playground? Could it be the colourful slides, swings, see-saws and monkey bars? One great thing about the playground is that it lets kids run and play, giving them a chance to move their bodies and stay active. P.L. Melissa Audrey, 12 The playground is also a great place to meet new friends. Some popular games children play at the playground include hide and seek and racing each other down the slide. Spending time at the playground is also healthier than staying indoors, glued to a handphone screen or TV. When we play outside, we get fresh air, sunshine and our much-needed exercise. It also helps us sleep better at night. Best of all, playing at the playground is fun! It makes us happy and helps us forget our worries. We can be silly, laugh loudly with friends and enjoy the moment. Nyon Qian Rou, 6 Starchild received an overwhelming response from our readers on the topic, Playground. We will publish the next sets of drawings next week. Here are this week's letters from our young and active readers. Chong Chen Kai, 6 Six-year-old Chong Chen Kai would create a colourful balance beam that makes him feel like a tightrope walker. "It would help me learn how to balance myself while having fun at the same time." Sham Kok Ren, 7 "In my dream playground, the slides are bright red and blue. I would spend the whole day zooming down them. I love to spend time in my special playground," says Sham Kok Ren, seven. "My seesaw would have a fun, unique design just for me. I'd go up and down with my best friend, laughing all the way," says six-year-old Nyon Qian Rou. Pang Yu Xuan, 6 Pang Yu Xuan, six, says: "My playground will have three merry-go-rounds in red, pink and green. My friends and I will get to twirl and whirl safely." Older sibling Nesha Anne Isitor, 12, writes: "I like the playground because I can play with my younger siblings, Ethan and Kaira. We sometimes play badminton at the park, and I try to hit the shuttlecock really high! Other times, we play basketball and try to score points like our favourite players. It's always so much fun!" "At the playground, I meet lots of friends and we play games like 'police and thief.' I also like the swings because I can go really fast. Playing outside makes me happy and healthy," says Kaira Anne Isitor, 10. Kaira Anne Isitor, 10 "In my dream playground, the adventure starts from the moment you step inside. First, there's a fun zone with trampolines and slides where kids can jump, bounce, and race. Then comes a rock-climbing wall that leads to a Minecraft -inspired maze filled with hidden passages. A wooden bridge with a breathtaking view connects this area to a stone maze. Deep within the maze lies a mineshaft, where sparkling fake diamonds shimmer on the walls, just like in a video game. It is the perfect place to relax," says Yap Si Hsien, 10. Yap Si Hsien, 10 ITEM: Grandmas are full of love, warmth and wonderful stories. They bake our favourite treats, give the best hugs and always know how to make us smile. July 23 is Gorgeous Grandma Day – so let us celebrate them! Write in and tell us what makes your grandma special and why you love her so much. Email your contributions to lifestyle@ by July 11. Please put "STARCHILD: My Gorgeous Grandma" in the subject line of your email. Scanned drawings should be in jpeg format, with a resolution of 200dpi. Your contributions must carry your full name, age (open to children aged 12 and below only), gender, phone contact, and address. Instead of handwritten letters, please type out your letters.
