The Commonwealth Games have been held every 4 years since 1930 except during World War 2. They have changed a lot over the years. Only single competition games were featured until team sports were introduced in 1998.
There are currently 53 members of the Commonwealth of Nations, and 71 teams participate in the Games.
A new project has been created by the OzProjects team to celebrate the 2010 Commonwealth Games which will be held in Delhi, India from October 3-14.
This project for middle primary to lower secondary students provides a range of activities and resources centred around the Games.
Activities include links to information about the host city (Delhi) and country (India) and participating countries and the sports which will be played. There are several online puzzles and quizzes suitable for use on an interactive whiteboard.
Students can learn about the mascot for the 2010 games and create a talking mascot for the 2014 games which will be held in Glasgow, Scotland.
The Delhi 2010 project is available at
