Weekends in Singapore can disappear in a blur of malls, playgrounds and screen time. If you’d like your kids to spend some of that time picking up a new skill, a weekend class or workshop is a great way to do it. From coding and robotics to baking, drama, music and martial arts, there’s something to suit every personality and age.
We’ve rounded up 15 weekend-friendly classes and workshops for kids across the island, complete with contact details and branch locations so you can book easily. For more ideas on supporting your child’s learning, browse our Education section.
Note: schedules, fees and locations change often. Please confirm the latest details with each provider before signing up, and ask whether weekend slots are available for your child’s age group.
Why weekend classes are worth it
Weekday afternoons are often packed with homework, CCAs and tuition, so weekends are when many kids actually have the energy to explore something new. A good weekend class gives children a chance to build confidence, make friends outside school and discover interests that may not be covered in the classroom. It’s also a natural way to cut down on screen time without a battle.

Tips for choosing the right weekend class
- Follow your child’s interests. Kids stay motivated when they enjoy the activity, so let them help choose.
- Book a trial class first. Many providers offer trial lessons, which are a low-risk way to see if your child clicks with the teacher and the format.
- Think about travel time. A centre near home makes weekend routines much easier to keep up, so check branch locations before you commit.
- Don’t overschedule. One or two weekend activities is usually plenty. Kids also need time to rest and play freely.
- Check class sizes and teacher experience. Smaller groups usually mean more personal attention.
- Ask about holiday camps. If your child loves the weekly class, holiday camps at the same centre are an easy way to keep the momentum going.

Final thoughts
The best weekend class is one your child looks forward to. Whether they’re building robots, baking cupcakes, performing on stage or climbing walls, weekend learning should feel like fun, not another chore. Try a class or two, see what sparks their interest, and enjoy watching them grow in confidence.
