Things like-

Badminton-
A game with rackets and shutttlecock is hit back and fourth across the net.
Basketball-a game played between two teams of five players in which goals are scored by throwing a ball through a netted hoop fixed at each end of the court.
Bowls-How do you play?
Stand on the mat, feet together, knees and waist bent slightly. Take ball in your preferred hand (right or left) Step out with your opposite foot (left or right) Take a small back swing. Bend down and roll bowl along the ground. Roll it out at an angle, so the bowl curves back towards jack.
Boxing-the sport or practice of fighting with the fists, especially with padded gloves in a roped square ring according to prescribed rules (the Queensberry Rules).
Cycling- the sport or activity of riding a bicycle. Cycle racing has three main forms: road racing (typically over long distances), pursuit (on an oval track), and cyclo-cross (over rough, open country).
Diving.
Plunge head first into water with one's arms raised over one's head.
Gymnastics.` exercises developing or displaying physical agility and coordination. The modern sport of gymnastics typically involves exercises on bars, beam, floor, and vaulting horse.
History of games:
A sporting competition bringing together the members of the British Empire was first proposed by John Astley Cooper in 1891, when he wrote an article in The Times suggesting a "Pan-Britannic-Pan-Anglican Contest and Festival every four years as a means of increasing goodwill and good understanding of the British Empire". John Astley Cooper Committees were formed worldwide (Australia) and helped Pierre de Coubertin to get his international Olympic Games off the ground.[3] In 1911, the Festival of the Empire was held at The Crystal Palace in London to celebrate the coronation of George V. As part of the Festival of the Empire, an Inter-Empire Championships were held in which teams from Australia, Canada, South Africa, and the United Kingdom competed in athletics, boxing, wrestling and swimming events.
Random fact:
They haven't always been called the Commonwealth Games.
What is the commonwealth countries?:
Usually, countries within the Commonwealth are former British colonies, but some countries, such as Samoa, Papua New Guinea and Namibia, are more closely linked to current member-states such as Australia, New Zealand, or South Africa, rather than to any historical allegiance or constitutional tie to England.
Which countries take part?:
Commonwealth Games, as a number of dependent territories compete under their own flags. The four Home Nations of the United Kingdom England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland also send separate teams.
How many people take part?:
53 people and 71 teams take part in commonwealth games.
