Fun Things to Do with Your Grandchildren

A Modern Way to Connect Across Generations

Being a grandparent is a joy — but let’s be honest, keeping up with the grandkids (especially as they grow older) can be a challenge. The world they live in is full of screens, online games, and digital distractions. So how do you really connect with them?

Here’s a fresh idea that brings the generations together through shared fun, laughter, and a little friendly competition.

Bring the Video Game to Life with Laser Tag

Most kids love video games. They’re fast-paced, exciting, and immersive — which is why traditional board games sometimes don’t hold their attention anymore.

Enter Laser Tag in a Box.

It’s like a real-life video game — no screens, just action!

Whether you’ve got a big backyard or live near a local park, hiring laser tag gear for the weekend is a fantastic way to make memories.

“Now that's a party! My grandkids LOVED your gear. The night before we had a party for 15–20-year-olds — who equally LOVED Battlefield Live! We had so much fun setting out the course – the laser tag accessories worked brilliantly.”

— Sonja

All Ages, All Fun

Laser tag brings the whole family together — from primary schoolers to teens, parents, and yes, even grandparents!

You don’t have to be super fit or fast. You just have to be ready to laugh, play, and have fun.

And best of all? It’s not just a game — it’s a shared experience you’ll all remember.

What Are Some Fun Things to Do with Teenage Grandkids?

Making memories with your grandkids — especially teens — is priceless. But let’s face it, finding something you’ll both enjoy can be a bit tricky.

That’s where laser tag comes in.

It’s exciting, active, and feels just like a live-action video game — only you’re the one holding the blaster!
Renting a laser tag kit is easier than you might think. Everything comes pre-configured and ready to go. Just turn the taggers on with a key and let the fun begin.

It’s the kind of activity that gets everyone moving, laughing, and fully engaged — from your 13-year-old grandson to your 70-year-old self.

Mix It Up With Fast-Paced Games

Want to wind things down after a round of laser tag? Try some shorter, high-energy card games that keep everyone engaged.

A family favourite is Monopoly Deal — a faster, more exciting version of the classic board game. It’s usually done in 15 minutes, so you can play again and again.

Perfect for:

- BBQ nights

- Weekend visits

- Quick laughs between activities

Best Party We've Had

My grandson had been to one at a centre but he wanted to be able to run around. We made our own barriers out of chairs and drop sheets. The best party we have had in 10 years. Strongly recommend it. Absolutely brilliant. For the price of 6 children, it was money well spent. 4 hours of non-stop entertainment.
