Hawaiian Luau Party Games

Luau party games are ideal outdoor games, especially on the beach on a sunny day.

We all have those images of colorful Hawaiian shirts on men and women with leis around their necks and colourful skirts or bandanas around their hips, dancing hula (traditional Hawaiian dance) and swaying their hips to a mele (traditional Hawaiian chant or song).

First you will need to go to the beach, to the countryside, to a park, to your back yard, etc. In two words: GO OUTDOORS. Ideal spot: On the beach.

 

Luau party games are very often ideal for children and teens too, as games tend to be slightly simple and physical. The luau theme is always fun to create and it is recommended for adults to enjoy the party with a shot of margarita.

Hawaiian Luau party games

Pass the balloon. Blow up two or more balloons according to the number of teams that you will be lining up. They will have to pass the balloon, from the person in front of the line to the next person behind in the line, without using their hands or arms. When the balloon gets to the player at the back of the line then this person runs at the very front of the line and so on. The team who passes the balloon and rotates everybody in the team faster wins.

Luau scavenger hunt. Place in a slightly hidden place a T-shirt, a colorful bandana or a skirt with a Hawaiian look. Choose teams and get them to find the item. Once found, they winning team has to hula dance blindfolded whilst they are being recorded with a photo camera, camcorder, mobile phone. Then you play the videos, laugh out loud at them and decide which was the team who did it better. You can give that team a prize.

Hula hoop competition. Get hula hoops and find out who keeps the hula hoop spinning around the waist the longest whilst the rest of the participants throw them flowers, Hawaiian leis and rice.

A Hula dance competition with men included will be very funny. You can learn to hula dance following the instructions of the video below.
