MWS Carnival Brings Three Generations Together for a Day of Play

Traditional games were in full swing, clay animal faces came alive with bright paint, and laughter rippled through Fernvale Community Club on 6 December 2025 as over 300 residents gathered for the 3 Generation Carnival.

Organised by MWS Active Ageing Centre – Fernvale Rivergrove in collaboration with Jalan Kayu Active Ageing Club, the carnival was designed to encourage intergenerational bonding through activities suited for all ages. 

Families – parents, children, and grandparents – bonded over activities such as LEGO building, painting of clay animal faces, and a memory card game matching photos of old Singapore. A bouncy castle delighted younger participants, while familiar treats such as muah chee, popcorn, and candy floss added to the festive buzz.

MWS services that provide marriage and divorce support, family counselling, marriage enrichment and parenting support, and handle casework for more complex family issues also reached out to participants, raising awareness about the support available. Complementing these were practical tips from Sengkang General Hospital on healthy eating and available health screenings.

For 73-year-old participant Judy Teo, who attended with her grandson, Ervin, the experience was especially meaningful. “There were activities for both of us,” she shared. “It was a great opportunity for us to bond and spend time together.”
