Calling all curious kids! Make a splash and learn to sell
A fun, hands-on marketing workshop where kids learn through play
Marketing isn’t just for grown-ups! Kids can learn it too. In Ottie’s Splash & Sell Workshop, your child will explore the basics of marketing and unlock their inner marketer through our original card game, Ottie’s Fishy Business.
By playing, creating, and working in teams, kids learn how businesses attract customers, “test” simple marketing ideas, and confidently share their thinking with others.
We run our signature 2-hour workshop up to twice a month, open to kids aged 7–12. Every session is small-group and hands-on, so each child gets extra attention, encouragement, and plenty of room to share their ideas. Sign-ups are currently open.
Why kids who learn marketing early make a splash?
-
Education
Our workshops help kids understand and connect marketing ideas to the world they already know by turning everyday sights, stories, and choices into simple “aha!” moments.
-
Meaningful Fun
No screens allowed - just learning through play, the good old way. Kids draw, play cards, and test ideas, discovering how creativity can make a real splash.
-
Interactivity
Small groups keep things lively and inclusive. Through group gameplay, kids share ideas, listen, collaborate, and build confidence together.
What’s Ottie’s Fishy Business?
Dreamed up and designed by the OtterHalf team, Ottie’s Fishy Business is Singapore’s first marketing card game for curious minds.
The objective is simple: help Ottie the otter win customers for her fish stand while picking up core marketing concepts along the way. Through easy card matching and playful strategy, kids learn how small marketing moves can add up to bigger campaign ideas.
It’s a fun, hands-on way to introduce marketing basics to kids (and even curious grown-ups). No boring slides - just fast-paced gameplay, creative thinking, and plenty of laughs!
