Three, Two, One, Go!

Two years ago, Jonah, Samuel, and I got laser tag sets for our birthdays. We were so excited when we opened our gifts. We had an old laser tag set, but it didn’t work very well anymore. These sets were a lot better, and we were eager to play with them.

The best place to play laser tag is on the porch when it is getting dark. You can’t see each other very well and this makes it more exciting. Many times, when the Cox family comes to visit us, we like to play laser tag with them. There are more people to play, and this makes it more fun.

Sometimes we make rules that no one is allowed to go off the porch. We usually have three people on a team all on one side of the porch and three people on the other side. Each laser tag gun has a button that changes the colors. If two people are on the same color, then they can’t shoot each other, but if they have different colors, then they can shoot each other. That’s how we know who is on your team, and who to shoot.

The game starts when someone yells out, “Three, two, one, go!” The porch and playground start to brighten up with lots of yellow, blue, green, and red lights, produced by the guns and glasses. If we are off the porch, the lights soon disappear behind all the trees and cars. Every little hiding spot is taken.

 

We have lots of fun with our laser tag sets. It is always one of my favorite things to do when it is getting dark. It is a gift that we can play with for a long time. I always look forward to hearing the words, “Three, two, one, go!”
