taught me to play them. Playing badminton can help me enhance my health and chess can improve

A note from Simon:
I agree with Kate (second comment from the top of this page) - sports are very often referred to as 
games e.g. a game of tennis. 
Remember that this is part 1, so it's not supposed to be tricky.
