What We Did in Kidzania Manila (Part 2)

Here's the second part, I mean our second time in Kidzania. This time around we let him try the following:

• Pizza Maker at Yellow Cab
• Softdrinks QA at Coca cola
• Ice cream maker at Magnolia
• Courier at DHL
• Police Patrol
• Cashier at Healthy Options
• Gasoline boy at Shell 

I mentioned in the previous post that W made a mistake in one of the jobs that he did. That job was being a courier. He was tasked to deliver two parcels to two different establishment and ask the receiver to sign the docs as received. The first establishment was just beside DHL, so easy to find. After a couple of minutes, I saw him return to the first establishment. I asked him why, he said he delivered the wrong parcel to the wrong establishment and he had to retrieve the parcel to deliver the correct parcels to the correct establishments. 

He may have made a mistake about it, but I think the one who receives should also be careful and check first whether it is the correct parcel that should be delivered to them. With W, it's a petty mistake, but if it happens in real life, I'm sure lots of complaints from clients.  

Anyways, the mistake may seem petty with the kids, but there is a huge learning on that incident. One, the kid was able to identify the problem. Two, he made an effort to correct it. And three, he now knows that it is not very easy to earn money. Mistake like that could cost him his job in real life.

I summarized the videos on the second day, with few pictures from the first day. Just three minutes of your time for me to share with you how amazing  it is to experience Kidzania Manila;

We still plan to go back the third time. There's still a lot that he has not experience yet. Tax Collector, Judge, Race Car Driver, Construction worker, Nurse, City Tour Guide, Model, Actor, Newscaster, TV Host. ang Dami diba?

By the way, the pizza he made, the softdrinks he inspected and bottled, and the ice cream he churned. It was all given to them after the job. Galing diba?

Before summer ends, mga mamshies, let your child experience Kidzania Manila. At the end of that experience, they will learn a lot about life, and you mommies, will learn a lot about your child.

Go na!

What We Did in Kidzania Manila for Two Days (Part 1)

Here's the blog I owe you about our Kidzania Manila experience. Forgive me for the very amateurish, shaky video I prepared. Sana wag kayo mahilo. Promise I will do better next time.

Due to stress I felt during audit season, I decided to treat my son to a Kidzania experience. This will be our first time since it opened a couple of years back.

Eto ang boarding pass to enter Kidzania:

At the counter, they will give the kids a check worth 50 kidzos that you will have to encash in BPI inside Kidzania. Of course this is a pretend check and pretend money and a pretend bank.

The first thing  he did was to experience being a firefighter.

Prepping them for their fire fighting in the city

As Pharmacist

As Veterinarian

Sorry was not able to take a lot of pictures. Pag tiyagaan nio na lang muna ang video sa ibaba;

To wrap it up he was able to do the following jobs on the first day:

• Fire Fighter
• Soccer Player 
• Pilot
• Marine biologist
• Hotel housekeeper
• Laundry staff
• Car Designer
• Veterinarian
• Pharmacist
• A bookstore assistant

The first 3 jobs, he paid for as pretend training. The next jobs he was paid for the services he rendered.

Our verdict? These jobs may be pretend jobs, but kids will learn a lot from these, from being responsible to being accountable. I highly recommend this activity for all kids and teens. This is to prepare you guys for your future self and whatever career you may want to venture into.

And because we enjoyed Kidzania so much, after 3 weeks, that was Black Saturday, we decided to come back. There was a 20% discount on our fees and we paid around P1950 for the three of us. Without discount that would have been P2,600++.

There was this job however, that my son made a mistake. You know if its real life that is actually a HUGE mistake. What did he do? I will tell you all about it on another entry, tamad na ako mag type e.

Wait for it, okay?
