Last week, The Sunday Times featured eight of the best indoor activities for families for the school holidays.

But parents and children, do not forget to head outdoors, too, for some fun. Children can take up martial arts from the Philippines or learn to farm in land-scarce Singapore. They can even be "schooled" in a forest.

In this second part of The Sunday Times' two-part special on school holiday programmes, we recommend eight outdoor activities.
