By "activities" I guess you mean games, since all native people were always active because of their lifestyle.

The Delaware or Lenape people played a type of dice game (using pieces of deer bone coloured on one side), the hidden ball game, hoop and pole, rackets and ring and pin.

The hidden ball game was a type of gambling, widespread among most native Americans of North America. It worked like this: a deerskin was spread out on the ground and 6 upturned moccasins were laid out in a semicircle in front of the player. He took a small pebble, or small ball or a round lead bullet and thrusting it in turn under the moccasins, hid it under one of them - this was done quickly and skilfully so nobody was certain where it had gone. The other players then placed bets on where the object was hidden - these bets consisted of bead work, clothing, weapons, food and so on.

Yes there were Indians in Delaware. Most Delaware Native Americans were forced to migrate westward when European colonists took over the Delaware area.
