If the kids are young, starting out with dart tag can give you a similar experience and the ability to play many of the same games for less expense. You can play games such as Capture the Flag, King of the Hill and good old-fashioned tag, in addition to coming up with your own variations of existing games or creating something from scratch.

Dart tag is a great activity for birthday parties, play dates or social activities like school lock-ins or an organized dart tag competition for a play day at school.

Dart tag has come a long way since its inception and is very similar to laser tag, with sound and laser lights on the guns. The kids can get cool gear like night vision goggles and a vest, which will make the experience even more exciting.

As for laser tag toys, you can get systems for two players or multiplayer battle games. A lot of these battle sets allow players to engage in spy games, black op directives, or hide and seek.

With the slick Phoenix LXT controllers, kids can zone in on their opponents with a high level of accuracy. In a typical game, one or more team players seek out their enemy with the goal of "tagging" them with the laser gun. Once hit, the gun will recoil and allow for reloading the ammunition. Making the tag game even more realistic is the addition of lights, sounds and vibrations when hit. There are guns - or controls - available which allow sure shot and blast action to get better results by tagging multiple targets and protecting the tagger from excessive hits.

There is generally software included with the battle system that will give directives and missions, in addition to keeping track of scores and stats. There are even systems out there that allow the kids to plug into the TV and play as a video game, which is very cool and customized just like the action of the physical games with multiple players. Kids' lazer tag toys are definitely keeping up with times, as they have iPhone apps and PC software to keep things running.

The lazer tag theme has got to be one of the most popular and requested birthday party, or party activities in general. With the availability of the laser gear, guns and systems, it's easy to throw your own lazer tag party right in the comfort of your own home. You provide the space, give the kids their guns and ammo, and the party will go down as a success.

Not just for the kids, the whole family can get in on this action and literally have a blast.

For a very welcome addition to your collection of games, lazer tag systems will round things out nicely. For summer barbeques or rainy days indoors, with such a variety of different games for one or multiple players, kids' lazer tag toys will be a kid and family favorite for years to come.
