As parents it’s hard to find ways to keep the sprogs occupied during the school holidays – what’s even more difficult is finding an activity that’s a bit different, a real treat and suitable for all the kids, whether they’re 8 or 18.  Like Christmas, rAge comes but once a year so this mid-term school break, your family’s destination of choice has to be rAge. This annual exhibition not only runs during the upcoming school holidays, it’s packed to the brim with awesome fun for the entire family and is a great day’s outing with plenty for the kids to do.

For the younger kids, Disney Interactive, Nintendo and LeapPad will be exhibiting and they’ll have age appropriate, fun games for the kids to play at the show.

For the older kids, there are over 100 exhibitors showcasing everything from PC and console gaming, to computer hardware and software,  gaming peripherals, gaming apparel and accessories, convention artists, graphic art signings, comics, anime, role-playing, collectible card games, digital lifestyle gear, and much more. They can play the latest games to their hearts content while you relax with a coffee and cake. Alternately you can join in and see just how enjoyable family gaming can be!

It all sounds like fun and games – and it is – but there is a more serious side that will give parents an understanding of the career possibilities for their children in an increasingly competitive environment.  Visit the international and local game development, media and creative arts college stands for real insight into the future of gaming and digital design/technology in SA and the interesting range of career choices for your kids.
