My McDonald’s, My Way: Build Your Own Meals & Free Activities at McDonald’s this Children’s Day

My McDonald’s, My Way lets kids build their perfect meal and complete a Promise Bookmark activity to redeem a FREE Vanilla Cone!

Venue: Available across McDonald's restaurants island-wide
Dates: 24 Sep – 7 Oct 2026

This Children's Day, McDonald’s Singapore is putting choice into the hands of little ones with its special "My McDonald’s, My Way" initiative, running from 24 Sep to 7 Oct 2026. Designed to give kids the joy of making their own decisions, the celebration lets children build their own perfect meal and introduces a fun interactive activity for families dining in.

Mix and Match with "Build My Meal"

Instead of sticking to standard pre-set combo meals, which usually comes with one main, one side, and a drink, Build My Meal allows kids to mix and match their ideal 3-item combination using their favourite items:

• 1 Main Choice: Select their favourite main (e.g., McChicken®, Cheeseburger, or Chicken McNuggets®).

• 2 Choice Items: Pick any two items from the available sides, beverages, and desserts.

This flexible option gives children the freedom to pair their main with treats that are not usually part of standard kids' set meals, such as choosing a main with a Sundae or an Oreo® McFlurry® alongside a side or drink.

BYKidO Tip: Take a moment at the self-ordering kiosk or on the McDonald’s app to let your child tap and choose their own combination. It gives them a sense of ownership over their meal and makes dining out feel like an active decision rather than a routine choice.

*Build My Meal is available at all McDonald’s restaurants in-store and Drive-Thru (via Mobile Order on the McDonald’s app), and is not available via Delivery.

Complete the Promise Bookmark to Redeem a Free Vanilla Cone

That's not all! Families can also participate in the Promise Bookmark activity at participating McDonald's restaurants to receive a free Vanilla Cone! Here is how to join in:

1. Pick Up a Children's Day Promise Bookmark: Approach the restaurant staff to collect a complimentary Children’s Day Promise Bookmark.
2. Choose an Activity to Celebrate Children's Day: Let your child choose how they want to celebrate Children’s Day! They can pick an option from the bookmark or write down a custom request, like extra play time, visiting McDonald's again, or even having Mummy to read 3 bedtime stories!
3. Make a Promise to Each Other: Parents and children will sign the bookmark as a shared promise to carry out the chosen activity.

4. Redeem a Free Vanilla Cone: Show the completed bookmark to a McDonald's staff to receive a free Vanilla Cone Be-Our-Guest card.

Allow your children the autonomy to come up with an activity they really want to do (within your guidelines) and support their independence and choice by keeping to the promise. We are sure this will be a memorable Children's Day moment! 

*Bookmarks are available at all McDonald’s restaurant except McDonald's NTU, McDonald's Temasek Polytechnic, McDonald's Caltex Dunearn, McDonald's Shell Tampines, McDonald's Shell Hougang, McDonald's Shell Havelock.
