The World is Your Classroom: Ayala Malls Celebrates Easter and World Book Day
This April, Ayala Malls is reintroducing the fun of school as it hosts an activity-packed intramurals-type event called Easter Academy, followed by a series of literacy initiatives in celebration of World Book Day at the Ayala Malls Readers Camp.
The many benefits of playing and reading are accessible to those who open their minds and welcome the world as their own personal classroom. Education is not defined by four walls; rather, it thrives among curious souls with passion for the things and the people around them. Indeed, learning can be anywhere—and it can be in Ayala Malls.

Let’s Go Teamwork! – Run, play, and be a sport at Easter Academy
Missing the classroom, the campus, and the big open field might not have been be as popular as it is today, given the fact that kids and young teens have been studying from home for two years and running. Truth is, kids miss school!—and finally, with Alert Level 1 in place, Ayala Malls is calling all youngsters to put on their kicks and reunite with their best friends in a face-to-face setting with a fun and competitive twist on Easter Day, April 17.
Easter Academy fosters cooperative play and team spirit as it gathers kids in groups to complete challenges, including an obstacle course relay, in sports-competition mode. As the youngsters crowd the field, parents, guardians, and other non-competing children can also visit the School Fair area for their favorite snacks and nostalgic goodies. Alternately, visitors can take selfies with roaming Easter mascots, donate at toy drives, and bring furbabies to an exciting Hide & Treat activity at Barkyard.
