Have the kids decorate coconuts for an easy and entertaining luau game.
A luau is a fun and creative party idea for kids, especially if the weather is nice enough to throw the party outside. Luau parties are not just for adults. Younger kids can enjoy them as well. Throw a luau party for kids as a fun summer party. Have the kids come dressed for a luau in floral shirts and skirts, and then give them leis and flower crowns when they arrive. Does this Spark an idea?
Hula Dancing
Hula dancing is a fun and cultural activity that the kids at your party will love. The best part about hula dancing is that the basic move is pretty easy to pick up, so it is ideal for kids of all ages. Hire a professional hula dancer to come and teach the group dance, learn the moves yourself so that you can teach them, or simply use a video to show them the steps. Keep them focused by telling them they will get to perform their dance moves for their parents later. When everyone seems to get the hang of it, have all of the kids put on hula skirts and leis, and perform their dance when their parents come to pick them up. Also video the dance and send it online to the parents who didn't get to see it.
Pineapple Relay
A fun and active game for the kids to play is a pineapple relay. Separate the kids into pairs, and give each pair a pineapple. For younger kids and toddlers, use something smaller, such as an orange. Mark a starting and ending point. The kids must transfer their pineapple from one end of the course to the other by holding it between them without using their hands. They can wedge the pineapple between their hips, stomachs or backs. If the pineapple drops, they must start all over.
Surfing Poses
Set up an area with a backdrop that looks like an ocean. Place a surfboard on a blue tarp, and a camera in front of the set. Have the kids come and strike a pose on the surfboard, pretending they are surfing. Babies can have pictures taken with the older kids or their parents. Print the pictures before the end of the party and send them home for the kids and parents to enjoy.
Coconut Faces
Set up a craft station with puffy paint, gems, glitter, tissue paper, construction paper, glue and plastic grass. Give each kid a coconut and have him decorate the coconut like a face. Point out the three dark circles that can be the eyes and nose, and let him go from there. The outcome is likely to be hilarious.
