How did kids occupy their time before the advent of smartphone | NLB Singapore

How did kids occupy their time before the advent of smartphones and tablets? In a kampong, the trio try their hands (and feet) at "goli", "gasing" and "chapteh". Joining them is special guest Aunty Shirley, a 75-year-old cosplayer, who shares her memories and experiences playing kampong games and toys.

A children’s video series, “The Time Travelling Trio” stars Sarah, Rina and Rokawa, who learn about Singapore’s past with the assistance of Liana, the friendly librarian. In each episode, the trio and Liana look at a different theme and talk to a special guest who shares their experiences growing up in a different time in Singapore.
