Engage your kids with an educational incursion these school holidays! Let’s have fun and learn at the same time.
Primary school kids adore laser tag.
It feels like their favourite video game brought to life. “The games are straightforward to organise but epic to play.
Plus, it's an active game that encourages teamwork and planning.
Laser Tag is the perfect hook to get kids thinking about the technology behind our daily lives and inspire them to learn more.
Discover how different technologies combine to great this fantastic game!
1️⃣ Laser Tag Engages Kids in STEM. It's a fun, fast-paced game that uses real-world technology.
2️⃣ . Inspire Their Imagination. Get your students thinking about the technology behind Laser Tag and how they might use that in their future careers.
3️⃣ Activities For the Entire Day. Introduce the topics like "Radio Waves" and "Light Waves" in a way that's hands-on & fun.
Our laser tag system communicates with a digital radio. It is a practical and exciting application of radio technology.
We recommend dividing students into groups to keep them engaged throughout your laser tag incursion day.
To keep kids engaged throughout the day, we recommend dividing them by age group and running extra activities between games.
Here are a few ideas to support your STEM goals.
Use an old-school radio to introduce the concept of radio waves. Each station has a specific frequency — just like the taggers use to “talk” to each other.
Let the kids explore the radio dial and pick their favourite station!
Next it’s time to get moving! Get in a circle and hold hands. Lift your hands up and down. When the music speeds up, so do the waves! Move super fast!
When the music slows down, go super slow... Just like radio waves!
A great physical activity to demonstrate wave behaviour.
Make “string telephones”.
The vibrations through the strings are similar to sound waves. The person on the other side can hear what the kids is saying because of those waves.
We have a fun worksheet you can step the kiddos through to introduce the concept of “radio” being used with the laser tag!
This is not a test! There are two questions they can try to answer, individually or as a group.

Despite the name, Laser Tag doesn’t use real lasers!
Instead, it uses infrared light, which is invisible to the human eye. The emitter at the front of the tagger sends out a beam of infrared light containing certain data. If that beam hits a sensor, that tagger reads the data and responds.
It's kind of like a TV remote control, but bigger!
The sent data includes team information; if the taggers are on the same team, the computer can ignore this message.
Plenty of modern devices uses infrared technology to work. These include:
Have the kids brainstorm cool and interesting technology that might use infrared or radio if they were developing a new device. Could they send signals to the moon? Or maybe they could hide secret messages on signs you can only see with night-vision goggles.
The new technology could be weird, helpful, or wonderful.
Get out paper and pencils and have the kids draw their ideas. Ask them how infrared could be used to make these ideas a reality.
