Singapore's weather is notorious for being hot and humid so the best way to cool ourselves down other than to stay in an air-conditioned room is to eat something cold. These sweet, smooth and creamy ice cream in six different flavours will satisfy your sweet tooth and the best part is that they are extremely easy to make with your family. Check out the recipe here.

#7 Build A Fort

How about building a fort together as a family? All you need is some light blankets and bed sheets for the roof. Put heavy blankets on top of sturdy items such as a chair. If the base of your fort is made from chairs, tables, or sofas, then you should be able to drape a heavy blanket or comforter without the fort falling apart. Add some soft squishy cushions to the fort to make it comfy. If you have some fairy lights to spare, add it to your fort! Now, time for the family 'gram.

#8 Do A Family Workout Together

Whether you admit it or not, we would much rather be slouching on the couch and eating our favourite chips than subject our bodies and minds to anything more rigorous than stretching for the remote control. How about blasting to a great workout song while exercising with your family?

Not sure what workout to do? You can either do an easy abs exercise to get a flat stomach or do an arm slimming exercise with your family! No equipment required, just yourself and a determined attitude.
