Children's City to host plenty of Summer Surprises activities

Those children whose birthdays fall between June and August 2006 can register for the Mass Birthday Celebrations.

Makiya Al Hajiri, Head of Children's City said that invitations have been thrown out to families and visitors of DSS for these ceremonies. "It is the best opportunity for the families to celebrate their children's birthdays with a lot of people and fanfare," she said.
"Imbibing strength from the successful conduct of Mass Birthday Celebrations during the previous years, the Children's City has planned many new interesting programmes enjoyable for children, including contests, games and skits," Al Hajiri said.

She said many surprises are awaiting children during this occasion, including gifts and prizes. "Special birthday cakes will be prepared for the parties in distinctive shapes and designs. In addition to this, the Children's City cartoon character Murshid will pick up one of the birthday children as the lucky child and will also take group photographs," Al Hajiri said.

Children will also be able to attend educational and recreation workshops. Entry will be free for the children who celebrate their birthdays and two of their relatives. Birthday celebrations are restricted for children in the age group of 3-12 years whose birthdays fall in June, July or August. Copies of the child's passport or birth certificate should be produced for registration.

Al Hajiri said the Children's City has prepared a host of programmes, including family competitions, this year for different categories of visitors during the DSS.
