The Guernsey Sports Commission is a charitable organisation set up in 2004 to promote physical activity and sport in Guernsey, Channel Islands.

In 2014, to celebrate our 10th Birthday, the PE in Schools team offered children in Year 3 – 6 the opportunity to create a tag game.

We have chosen 101 of the most creative and exciting tag games for you to play at home, in the playground, during a PE lesson or at your sports club.

So what are you waiting for…?
