Entertainment specifically tailored to young gamers ages 8 to 14.
The Kids Track is a setting where kids can game with other children. It features games and systems that appeal to a younger audience and are simple to learn and play. Players are encouraged to work cooperatively with each other and share their creativity.
At SCARAB, we not only delight in sharing our hobby with the next generation, but we believe that gaming can teach children important skills, from reading and math to social skills, cooperation, and problem solving.
For a full listing of Kids Events please see the Events Page and Filter By Kids Track.
| Book of the Year RPG | Literacy and a love of reading is one of the best gifts we can give our kids. Every year SCARAB Kids Track selects a popular children's' fiction or young adult novel to base an RPG on. |

The Kids Track is NOT a babysitting service, or a substitute for appropriate adult supervision. We are not responsible for supervising child attendees.
The SCARAB staff views the safety of our young guests as a top priority. Kids Track events will be located in the back of Salon A in the Medallion Center. Parents can check up on their children as much as they need to.
SCARAB child attendees under the age of 12 are required to have a parent or guardian's contact information written on their badges so they can be reached in an emergency.
A parent or guardian must be on site at the Medallion Center at all times.
We ask that our Kids Track players be responsible and considerate, and if any child is behaving unsafely or preventing other players from enjoying Kids Track programming, their parent or guardian may be asked to remove them from the Kids Track space.
If you have any questions about the Kids Track, are interested in running games, or helping with other programming contact the SCARAB Kids Track Coordinator at KidsTrack @SCARABcon.com
SCARAB is always on the lookout for volunteers to run games for our Kids Track! All types of games are welcome! RPGs, board/card games, miniatures or other events.
We especially want to encourage our younger players to run games for their peers. The SCARAB staff is happy to give any kid GM any support they need.
We ask that all Kids Track GMs:
- Be prepared to teach the rules of the game to players.
- Provide pre-generated characters or use a system that uses quick and simple character creation.
- Game run within a two hours time slot.
- All games should be child-appropriate. No inappropriate language, adult content, and violence kept to a minimum, with no graphic descriptions. (IE cartoonish or stylized combat like on a children's TV show.)
If you would like to host a game for the Kids track fill out the submission form at the top of the page under Host.
