Soccer, soccer, soccer: in the last few weeks the kids are talking about nothing else. Even my little one, just three, was interested in soccer, especially for the fact who’s injured and why. But at the end of the World Cup even she knows that we are crossing the fingers for the team in white or black and gold.
But now everything is over and normal life goes on. And instead of looking soccer we are going to the playground and playing with the kids in the sand. Another good alternative for this hot summer days is going in the museum which are always very cool and during the holidays they offer special programmes for the kids. Like the Bode Museum where you have on 17July the possiblity to learn what St. Michael, St. George and Frederick William of Brandenburg have in common. Or listen on 22 July how the brave Hercules killed the nine-headed snake and fights with a dangerous lion.
Another very interesting event is taking place on 22 July. On this day the kids have the opportunity to vistit on the Museumsinsel the original places of the famous german children’s thriller “Beschützer der Diebe” written by Andreas Steinhöfel. Please register in advance, the number of participants is limited.
For all those who are calling to late for this event, don’t worry, during the holiday season there will be at every weekend special tours for families.
And maybe your kid has so much fun on this tours that it will become rather an art historian than a soccer star like Beckham.
For all parents who need a lection in history here are the most important facts about Hercules as told by Disney.
