7 Great Hawaiian Luau Theme Party Activities
Hawaiian Tourist Relay Race. This game has several variations but the general gist is coordinating a standard relay race where each team member runs to a point (where there’s a suitcase, duffle bag, anything that could hold clothes and says ‘travel’), takes out an article of clothing (or several), puts them all on, gets a nod from a referee, then takes the items off and runs back to tag the next runner in their team. For your Hawaiian event, put different kinds of beach items in a suitcase (going on vacation) or beach bag. Possible items would include nose block, sunglasses, sun hat, swim shorts, sandals, pooka shell necklace (this can be very difficult to put on when in a hurry…that dumb clasp), etc. A popular variation on this is to have each team form a line. The first person is to put all the items on, get a nod from a referee, then remove the items handing them to the team member standing right next to them for he/she in turn to then put on. This next team member can be putting on the items while the first is removing. However, that second team member cannot start passing his items on until he is wearing ALL the items that the first team member was wearing. THEN and only then can he/she begin removing the items to hand to the next person. As a fun note, make the items to put on silly and fun. Exotic Necklaces – Provide supplies for your party guests to string their own beach necklaces. Depending on the style, these often don’t require many beads per necklace. Using Joann’s 40% off coupons can land you some fun and interesting exotic beads to include. If you really want to go for it, consider ordering some shark teeth beads from resources such as Fire Mountain Gems! Create your own tropical beach wind chimes. Save up some plastic coffee can lids ahead of time (you might want to consider asking family and coworkers to save some for you, as well.) Paint them different colors in advance (getting rid of the writing, etc.) With scissors, cut slits in the plastic to allow for string to be tied to the lids with enough slack to hang, allowing for items to be connected. This is where the fun part comes in. Any number of things can be added to make a fun luau themed wind chime. Of course, if you’re going for something that sounds nice, consider hanging sea shells. However you can also hang things like toy shovels, sunglasses and plastic flowers! Create your own sand globes. Take either baby food jars or emptied clear small water bottles (with the labels completely removed.) Fill the container halfway with water. Add one drop of blue food coloring. Next, allow your guests to put in things like glitter, small seashells and some sand. Fill the remaining container with baby oil. Hot glue the lid shut (so no water will escape.) Your guest will have just made their own ocean scene! (The water and oil won’t combine so that they can move the container around to watch the water move about with the different items they added to their containers.) Make your own hula accessories. If you provide enough decorating materials, this activity will really allow your guests to express their creative sides. Take plastic shower caps and cut the tops off so that you have an elastic band (about a few inches wide) that will fit around a guest’s head. Allow them to decorate them with flowers and greenery to make a beautiful or fun, Hawaiian wreathe. Double banded, they can also go around ankles and wrists.
