juegos con juguetes o los juegos de mesa. Por ejemplo, el
nintendo o el ajedrez.

18. DO:
Usaremos do con las actividades que normalmente no se
practican en equipo, no son competitivas (o que aunque
puedan incluir alguna competiciones ésta no será el centro
de la actividad) y que no suelen utilizar una pelota (y en los
casos que sí, el uso de la pelota no será central).
Ejemplos de deportes con "do":

19. GO:
Precede a las palabras que acaban en -ing,
como fishing o camping. Acompaña a actividades que se
suelen hacer en el exterior y a actividades que aunque sean en
el interior deben hacerse en un lugar especial. Es decir, la
actividad está necesariamente vinculada al lugar en el que se
realiza y debes "ir" allí para hacer esa actividad.
Ejemplos:
• Go fishing
• Go skiing
• Go snowboarding
