    Sports Games:

    Hockey Rink.
    Yep, we have baseball fields, football fields and even cricket. But not hockey rinks. Just find a decent schematic and label the parts…

    Soccer Field.
    What I said for hockey is the same for soccer. World’s most popular sport, indeed!

    Sports Halls of fame.
    Could be US only, or world. But see:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_halls_and_walks_of_fame#Sports_halls_of_fame

    Linguistics games:

    British / American English differences
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_words_having_different_meanings_in_British_and_American_English
    This will take some doing, it won’t be as easy as it may seem at first.

    ROT-13 Game.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ROT-13
    contains a small table with a number of words converted to ROT-13 and showing how they change. Ex. Terra fl‡ Green. Given one, can you find/guess the other?

    Medical Terminology Game.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_terminology
    Pretty self-explanatory, really.

    Miscellaneous Games:

    Top 20 Steel-Producing Nations:
    A world map and this link:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steel_production_by_country
    (There may be some surprises).

    Top 10 Onion-Producing Nations:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Onions#Production_trends
    And most other commodities could be done. Sure, these 2 production games could be Geography instead of Miscellaneous—either is appropriate.

    Cuts of Beef:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beef
    This could be one game with 2 pics (US and Brit), or two separate games.
