- Skills Circuit – A fun series of physical challenges like hopping and crawling.
- Magic Carpets – Parents moved across the field pulling the children on mats.
- Treasure Hunt – A thrilling search for hidden coins in a ball pit crossing along some obstacles.
- Bicycle Race – A fast-paced and exciting bike challenge.
