Little People 2026: A Holiday Programme Children Love and Parents Trust 

By Clovey Lye

Every year, Little People gets a little bigger, a little cheerier, and a little more exciting. After more than a decade of running, Little People has become a much-loved holiday programme for families looking for a fun, engaging, and Word-centred experience for their children. 

On 6 June 2026, Little People once again opened its doors to welcome children and parents from near and far. The halls were filled with colour, laughter, and energy as children gathered for a day of songs, games, stories, and skits. 

This year, we were delighted to welcome 33 new children for our holiday event. The atmosphere was lively from start to finish. Older children laughed along with the skits, while younger children eagerly joined the Lil’ Pop dance team in singing and dancing to our now-familiar opening and closing songs. 

A familiar face also returned this year. Zechariah Lo, formerly known to the kids as “Zigger”, returned this year, taking on the role of a toymaker. This time, he was joined by 13-year-old Jedd Johnson. Together, they served as our immersive emcees, helping the children explore one of the programme’s central themes: what it means to be created beings living in God’s world.

Through games, stories, and discussions, the children were encouraged to think about authority and why God, as our Creator, has the right to tell us how to live. In one activity, children considered who has the authority to tell them things. For instance, who can tell them to brush their teeth more often: Mum, a doctor, a coach, a dentist, or a police officer.  

During Book, Book, Book Time, the children listened attentively as Teacher Kaylee Tan told the story of a sheep who chose to wander away and go its own way. The story provided a simple but powerful picture of what happens when we choose to ignore our good and loving Shepherd, and the Shepherd’s love in caring for His sheep.

The day also featured a dramatic retelling of Luke 5:17–26, where four friends brought a paralysed man to Jesus. The crowd was so large that the friends struggled to reach Him, leading to some creative and humorous attempts to get through, including an unforgettable scene where the four friends tried to get to Jesus by causing an ice–cream distraction! Yet beneath the laughter lay an important question: what is truly easier: to say, “Your sins are forgiven,” or to tell a paralysed man to get up and walk? Through the story, the children learned that Jesus has authority not only over sickness but also over sin itself.

As always, Little People was filled with fun, laughter, and memorable moments. More importantly, it was an opportunity for children to hear about the God who made them, loves them, and calls them to trust and follow Him.

When asking parents how they found Little People, this is what Eldwin Oui, father of three had to say, “Little People is a great chance for my kids to invite their friends to an event where they can learn more about Jesus the king, and honestly, it never gets old seeing them so excited to enjoy learning about God with their friends.”
