ACTIVITIES
1. Elimination Tag
One person is assigned the role of tagger. This is indicated by a
ashing white light on the tagger’s KidiGo™NexTag™Unit. The
tagger has ve minutes to try and tag the other players. When a
player is tagged, they are out. At the end of ve minutes if any
players remain, they are the winners.
*For playing with two combined sets and more than ve players, the system
will designate two taggers and the game will last a maximum of ten minutes.
2. You’re “It”
One person is assigned the role of tagger. This is indicated by
a ashing white light on the tagger’s KidiGo™NexTag™Unit.

When they tag a player, that person becomes the new tagger.
The player who is the tagger at the end of ve minutes loses and
the others win.
3. Zombie Tag
One player is assigned the role of zombie. This is indicated by a
ashing white light on the tagger’s KidiGo™NexTag™Unit. When
they tag a player, that player also becomes a zombie and can tag
other players to turn them into zombies. If the zombie team cannot
tag a human for one minute at any point, the humans win. If there
are more zombies than humans, the humans will have 30 seconds
to try to survive and win, otherwise the zombies win.
4. Secret Mission
Each player’s Color Light Button will indicate the color of the
other player who they must tag. When a player is tagged, the
game pauses and everyone is given a new target, as indicated by
the new color shown on each player’s Color Light Button. When
there are only two players left, they must duel and be the rst one
to tag the other’s KidiGo™NexTag™Unit. The game time limit
is 10 minutes.
*When playing with two combined sets and more than ve players, there
may be two targets with the same color. The tagger can tag either opponent.
5. Freeze Tag
One person is assigned the role of tagger. This is indicated by a
ashing white light on the tagger’s KidiGo™NexTag™Unit. The
tagger’s goal is to try to tag and freeze all the other players within
the ten-minute time limit. Once a player is tagged, they are frozen
and must remain in place. The frozen player can press and hold
their own Color Light Button for 30 seconds to unfreeze and
resume playing. At the end of the time limit, if all players except the

10
10
10
tagger are frozen, the tagger wins. Otherwise, the other players win.
*When playing with two combined sets and more than ve players, there will
be two taggers who can work together.
6. Capture the Flag
Players must rst divide into two teams, Team A and Team B. Team
A will use the red and blue KidiGo™NexTag™Units, and Team
B the green and orange. The units with solid lights are the bases,
and the units with ashing lights are the ags. To get ready to play,
each team should place their base approximately 15 to 20 feet away
from a center line that divides the teams’ territories and hide their
ags on their own side. Once the game begins, each team’s goal
is to retrieve the ags from the other side and bring them back to
their base. To register that a ag has been captured, press the ag
and base’s Color Light Buttons at the same time. When a player
crosses the dividing line into the other team’s territory, the player
can be tagged by the other team. Depending on the rules players
agree to, once a player is tagged, they may either return to their
own side, or be placed in a “jail” to wait until their teammate can
free them with a tag. KidiGo™NexTag™Units in this game are
only used as ags and bases and are not worn. The game ends
when one team secures all of the other team’s ags. The game
time limit is 10 minutes.
7. Dino Defense
In this game, the cavepeople must try and sneak eggs away from
the dinosaur to bring back to their cave. Players must rst decide
who will be the dinosaur. The cavepeople will use the red KidiGo™
NexTag™Unit as their “cave”, and the other units will be the “eggs”
that the dinosaur must spread out and defend. To register that an
egg has been brought back to the cave, a caveperson must press
and hold the Color Light Button on both the cave and egg units
simultaneously for ve seconds. Once an egg has been brought back
to the cave, it cannot be removed. If a cave person is tagged by the
dinosaur on their way back to the cave, the eggs they’re carrying
