#7 Reasons for Laser Tag At Your School Event

Reason #1: Let Students Be the Best They Can Be

Every student has hidden talents that may not always come out in the classroom. Laser Tag provides a space for students to step into their own stories, test their abilities, and show what they can do.

Whether it’s thinking strategically, communicating clearly, or simply being brave enough to take action, students get countless chances to engage, participate, and grow. It’s about letting them be the best version of themselves, outside the normal routine of school.

Reason #2: Develop Leadership Skills in a Fun Way

Laser Tag is all about teamwork and collaboration, which naturally encourages leadership. Students often work in small squads where they need to organise themselves, make decisions, and guide their teammates toward success.

Even those who aren’t usually confident taking charge have the opportunity to step up, share ideas, and try something new. By leading a small group or contributing to a team strategy, students practice skills they can carry into other areas of life.

Reason #3: Build Resilience Through Play

Laser Tag teaches that it’s okay to fail — because you get to try again, adapt, and keep going. If a plan doesn’t work or a tactic fails, students respawn and get another chance to make things happen.

Through this, they learn to manage setbacks, stay positive, and celebrate small victories, all while moving, communicating, and having a lot of fun. It’s also a great way to build stamina, coordination, and confidence, as every student participates at their own pace.

Laser Tag engages students because it makes them a hero of their own stories.

Reason #4: Improve Problem-Solving and Strategic Thinking

Laser Tag is more than just running around — it’s about thinking ahead, adjusting to changing situations, and making decisions on the fly.

Whether students are trying to control a Hot Spot, defend a base, or coordinate a sneak attack, they are constantly analysing, planning, and reacting. Every round presents a new challenge, encouraging students to think creatively and solve problems under pressure.

Reason #5: Build Camaraderie and Friendship

There’s nothing like team-based missions to bring people together. Laser Tag fosters a sense of camaraderie because students need to communicate, cooperate, and rely on each other to achieve their goals.

It’s a chance for quieter students to come out of their shell, for friends to bond over shared successes, and for everyone to celebrate being part of a team. Away from screens and the usual classroom pressures, students create memories they’ll talk about long after the game ends.

Reason #6: Fuel Independence

Every student plays a part in the victory. 

Even without an overall plan, each student must take decision-making into their own hands!

While each player is independent, teamwork is still important.

The games are inherently meaningful to them. Because kids love to play (and most love to play video games!). And they love to play when they are out & active & experience something new. 

Creating a school event with a story-driven live-action role-play, using a laser tag rental, is a great choice.

Reason #7: Great for Really Big Groups 

Laser Tag equipment comes fully charged in the hire so the students can play for as long as the timetable allows.    

The games can be organized into a round-robin format so students can combine laser tag with other activities. Or, better still, the students can play in very large groups.
