50. Play giant chess or lawn bowls (FREE!)

Did you know that you can hire out free Giant Chess sets from Sports Hub if you book ahead? Make it a family game. It’s brainpower, and a physical workout, as you will have to use both your hands and feet to make the chess pieces move. There are lots of other free outdoor facilities from basketball courts and beach volleyball courts, to a playground and lawn bowls, too. More info here.

Deets: Prebook chess sets ahead. Singapore Sports Museum rooftop, 6 Stadium Walk, Singapore
