Hi, My mom's friend is having a luau party; they have it every year, and I want to help with her luau. She doesn't know any games to do or any crafts to make for the little kids and the older kids. If you have any game suggestions, please post them.

PS The luau is this week Saturday.
Thank you very much.

If you have room to run around try the tacky tourist relay race. have one person wear a grass skirt lay, and coconut bra, etc., run to the next person and exchange the outfit.
For the girly girls try and old fashioned spa session with colorful mango facemasks and cucumbers for their eyes. they felt all grown up. also we served them bitesized snacks on trays and banana smoothies in coconut cups.

This would work for adult, children's or teen parties. We have a luau every year and it is usually still too cold to have it outside. For the food I bought a blue plastic table cloth and a net (cheap at a party store) to go over it. I then put the food in wide brimmed straw island hats (also at a party store cheap) and plastic buckets from the dollar store. I also use grass skirts to cover our bar and bottoms of tables.

We also try to do fun things with invitations like a message in a bottle -- use a clear bottle with a "scrolled" invite. Put a little sand in the bottom and hand deliver. (these can be handmade, but I found mine at a party store) This year we are doing lei's with the invite written on an attached paper in the shape of a tropical flower -- then the guests already have their lei to wear. We also use a plastic kids swimming pool filled with ice for drinks.

Hi,
I'm having a Hawaiian themed birthday party for my 13 year old daughter this year. It will be cold outside so we are going to a motel with a pool. We rented an inexpensive room so they can change clothes, shower, eat, drink, etc. The plus side for me is that I don't have a huge mess in my home afterwards. They can wear their swimsuits and grass skirts to the pool just like they are on the beach.

I'm having an indoor beach party for my 6 yr-old twins. The guests will be decorating plain baseball caps with fabric markers and foamies when they arrive. Then I am having a scavenger hunt where the teams will have to look for summer-themed items around the house. Guests are encouraged to dress for warm weather, (even though it's 20 degrees out!) We will also be doing a seashell craft.

I would use the classical hawaiian dance. The HULA! Have a hula competition and give away different prizes. One prize could be a coconut filled with candy. Another, some kind of hawaiian gift package... filled with... grass skirts, a coconut bra, and anything else you would use to do the hula... you could also put in a hawaiian cd.

way cool! your b-day is on the same day as mine. I need help 2. but here are some ideas. make hawaiian invites and on the top write everything only in hawaiian then on the bottom write it in english. you also if u have a hot tub or something u could go outside in it and pretend there is like a tisunami or something. itf u have a ceiling fan u could rip up an old video and use the tape to attach the string to the fan panels it makes a heka cool sound.this also works with grass skirts.

For boys (and girls) I decided to make a small ocean bottle. We'll add sand, shells, blue water. Glue the top and tie a piece of raffia and a small shell on top.

Well, what I would do is I would have a table on thee ground [a buffet table] and I would lay 2 cinderblocks (one on each end) on the ground then the table over the top. Then I would either take a piece of muslin (fabric) and lay it over the top OR have a plastic Hawaiian Table Cover that comes at the party stores. Then for your "chairs", you take CHEAP, INEXPENSIVE throw pillows one for each person and lay them around the table. Serve "island food" such as:: fruit, fruit punch, etc. Also, you can play a few games such as:: pin the coconut on the palm tree, a treasure/scavenger hunt indoors, the limbo and pass the coconut. Sense you are indoors and it rains, I suggest getting a movie or two. Like:: for the younger audience:: LILO AND STITCH THE MOVIE. Teen audience:: JOHNNY TSUNAMI. The Older Audience:: POINT BREAK. Those are just a few ideas. Don't forget to decorate like CRAZY... Just remember sometimes a little goes a LONNNG way.

have fun first of all. just because you have to be inside doesnt mean you cant have the stuff inside to. bring in the fancy lights and candles.
have a kids wading pool filled with sand and seashells. it kinda looks like the beach. put beach towels around it because people may want to take a walk on the "beach".
dress the part. eat the part. have pinapples, coconuts, kiwi and tropical fruits. you can even go outside in the rain (if it isnt thundering) it does rain in hawaii. play a game outside but have plenty of towels ready.

Have a limbo contest. You can use a broomstick or other similar item for the pole.

Download the 'Limbo Rock' song from Wal-Mart.com music downloads or other similar website and either play it from the computer or burn it onto a CD.

You can also find rules to various limbo games on the web.

Above all, have a good time and don't let the rain spoil your fun. My luau party after my wedding got rained out, and we ended up having a huge supersoaker water gun battle that ended with the garden hose and people being dragged out into the rain.

Hi, I am planning my daughters 14th birthday. She wants it to be memorable and we were thinking a Luau. The only problem is it is in March so it would be out of the question having it outside. We are is desperate need of ideas for some way of making this Luau the best posible or if anyone has any great birthday party ideas for a bunch of 14 year old girls in March please let us know. Thank you for your time.

For my surprise Luau birthday party for family, I went to the library and checked out beach boys and hawaiian music (free), I did some research on the net and made nametags with each persons "hawaiian name" some are too funny. (free). We used a game out of the name tags. Everyone was supposed to call each other their hawaiian name, and each person got a rubber band for their wrist. If the used their real name, they lost their rubber band. Most rubberbands won a prize. Your local party store should have colorful luau paper products, pineapples etc. to hang. We played coconut bowling, with a real coconut and empty cans, EVERYONE loved that. Prizes to winners of course. Also I made a volcano cake with dry ice in the middle, when you add water to it, it blew smoke. It was a lot of work, but it was very fun. You can find that recipe by searching under volcano cake. hope that helps. Party animal liz from indiana

How about virgin pina coladas? Having Hawaiian music (or maybe Elvis's movie Blue Hawaii) playing can also really help set the mood.

If the girls are crafts oriented types, maybe they could learn how to make paper flowers, and then string them to make their own leis. You'd probably have to do a bit of advance research on making paper flowers so you can teach them, unless you already know how.

You can probably find cheap plastic leis from a party store to add to the festive atmosphere. Balloon volleyball and braiding ribbons or flowers into each other's hair are some activities I liked at that age.

Have it inside and ask everyone to wear shorts or bathing suits. Rent some beach/summer movies to watch. Provide lots of fingernail polish for pedicures and try to find some plain flip flops. They could decorate them with flowers and beads as a party favor. Serve colorful punch with the paper umbrellas in all the drinks. Serve food picnic style with brightly colored floral paper products. If you can still find any summer things like beach balls or childrens pool floats, hang those from the ceiling. This isn't for a luau, but for my daughters party we had a candy theme. I filled long stemed cocktail glasses with m&ms, skittles,..and laid things such as air heads all over the table. We used pixie sticks to make the sand bottles where they layer different colors of sand in the bottle to make a design. The candy would be colorful and the sand bottles are a colorful keepsake they could do (even use sand from the craft store). At this age, they mainly want to talk and giggle.
