You’ve got a Luau party planned and are looking for some great ideas and activities so that the guests don’t end up bored to death. Well there are lots of party ideas out there and here are just a few to get you started.

The Cocoanut Game is a little race that will leave guests tripping all over themselves. Have the contestant’s line up in front of cocoanuts on the ground. They must all try to pick up a cocoanut with their knees and hold it between their legs as they waddle to a predetermined finish line. Anyone who drops their cocoanut must pick it back up in order to continue onward. The first to the finish line with their cocoanut is the winner.

For the couples there’s the Blind Lei Me Game. Get all the couples in the party together and blind fold one of them while having the partners form a circle around the blindfolded players so no one wanders away from the party by accident. Each of the blindfolded players has a Lei and they must wander slowly around the inside of the circle feeling for their partner. Partners can’t help by talking or giving a sign. When the player thinks they’ve found their partner they place their lei over the other persons head. When everyone has been Leid, tell the players to take off their blindfolds and see who they’ve just leid.

The Hawaiian Belly Hula Dance is a great and terribly funny game, but you need several guys with large bellies who are good sports to make it work. Have them take off their shirts and give them all grass skirts to wear and leis or headdresses to wear. Then you can be a sport too and lead them all in your own made up Belly Hula. Guests can observer and later vote on who Hula’s the best.
