Previous activities from 2019, which varied among the four Kent neighborhoods, included the following:

 * Team games such as soccer, baseball, football, and capture the flag to promote healthy physical development as well as better communication skills, team companionship, and strategy skills.

 * Board games and card games, including Uno, Chutes and Ladders, Spot it, and Headbands. Besides strengthening attention and focus and enhancing foundational skills for success in school and life, these activities helped the children learn patience and how to take turns.  

  * Whiffle ball, hide and seek, freeze tag, and capture the flag, which require team bonding and communication skills

 * Development of younger children's cognitive skills such as recognizing letters and numbers and their correct sequences 

 *  Cornhole, Relay races, Parachute games. These games focused on gross motor skills and teamwork. The children picked teams and participated in a lengthy game where they had to use communication skills, collaborative skills, and critical thinking skills to win the game. Through these games, they were also encouraged to express their frustration in an effective manner instead of running away from a problem or being disappointed.

 *  Creative expression such as painting, friendship bracelets, and coloring using a variety of materials.

 *  Water play

 * Guest presentations by Kent State nursing students on health and nutrition and Kent City police on gun safety.
