Add some le'ale'a -fun and amusement- to your gathering with Hawaiian luau party games that will have guests experiencing the excitement of the tropics.
Are you planning an ho'olaule'a – an Hawaiian celebration or party that will bring to life the exotic beauty and festive spirit of the Pacific Paradise? Having a variety of well-planned, themed-oriented games, that include something for everyone, can provide hours of entertainment while still allowing for plenty of mingling and socializing.
Luau Bingo
This tried-and-true classic is always a favorite. Have guests compete to fill tropical-themed cards, using Hawaiian words such as 'coconut', 'grass skirt', 'lei', or 'pineapple'.
Have fun designing your own version or take advantage of the many printable options available. Don't forget the prizes! Seniors love to win prizes of all kinds.
Tropical Scenario
| > |
Have guests fill them out anonymously and see who can match the writer with the scenario. The first person to guess correctly, receives a lei, with the winning prize going to the guest who has the most leis at the end of the game. Add an extra challenge by having guests lose a lei for an incorrect guess.
Tropical Trivia
Test guests knowledge with beach movie trivia, including classics such as 'Blue Hawaii', 'Diamond Head', and 'Song of the Island', as well as more modern choices like 'The Blue Lagoon' or 'The Beach'. Play a round of challenging tropical cocktail trivia or see how well your guests know the Islands with a game of Hawaiian trivia. I'm sure some of your senior guests can add some very inspiring words of their own . . .they are a festive lot, aren't they?
Coconut Bowling
Add a fun twist to traditional bowling by using coconut balls and pineapple pins. (Oh, just imagine the fun in hula skirts?) Or, for a true tropical experience, set up a Ulu Maika tournament – Hawaiian style lawn bowling. All you need to play this popular game is a flat rolling stone, similar in shape to a hockey puck, and two stakes or sticks.
Put the stakes into the ground about 6 inches apart and about 15 feet from the starting line. Each player stands on the line and tries to roll the stone (on its side) down the lawn and between the two stakes. Here comes a wonderful photo opportunity. Memories of senior games, does anything last longer that the memory of this party?
Create A Cocktail
Divide guests into teams or have them work on their own to create an unique tropical cocktail. You can provide a variety of ingredients or ask each person to bring a contribution. Make sure to have small glasses available for sampling, and give a special prize to the best creation. Asking guests to name their cocktails may also add a little humor to the evening. Then, Oh my, watch the fun begin!
Blindfold Taste Test
See who has the most tropical palate by asking guests to identify Hawaiian foods while blindfolded. Include some easy selections such as pineapple and papaya, but also add a few of the more traditional dishes like masubi, poi, and laulau. And, of course, don't forget the Hawaiian staple - Spam! I wonder how many seniors can identify spam when blindfolded? Could prove interesting, don't you think?
Tropical Charades
Charades is a great way to add fun to any party. You can customize the classic version by using Hawaiian movies, cities, or food, as well as tropical beaches, song titles, and items such as surfboards, tiki torches, and volcanoes.
Senior citizens are an animated group anyway. Just add props and ideas and watch the fun and frolic unfold!
Wii
Wii is a great way to add some fun to your party while also creating a little friendly competition. Include games such as beachside or golf Frisbee, canoeing, or bowling. Seniors are very competitive and love participating in these activities! Fun will be had by all who dare!
Hawaiian Driving Range
Hawaii is famous for its fabulous golf courses. Recreate your own tropical driving range by having guests use a golf club and ball to try to reach a designated target such as a pineapple, mini volcano, or palm tree. This is great for a back yard of green and space. Everyone can choose a specific golfer to copy his swing. Form teams and guess who the golfer is.
Hawaiian Translation
Give each guest a list of Hawaiian words or phrases and see how many people can correctly guess the English translation. I'm sure there will be a few seniors that will make up some new words for future vocabulary entries.
Hawaiian luau party games can help you create that tropical ambience that will make your party an unforgettable success. And, for those who are a little more limber or 'young at heart', you could always include a few hula hoops and a limbo bar. If nothing else, they will make great decorations.

Here's an awesome collection of Hawaiian Luau birthday party game ideas, perfect for throwing the coolest ever Hawaiian Luau party.
Tropical Luau Relay Race
For this Luau birthday party game this is what you'll need: Two grass skirts, 2 pairs of Bermuda shorts, 2 pairs of sunglasses, 2 Hawaiian straw hats, 2 lei necklaces, 2 beach bags, 2 beach chairs. Divide the group into two teams and line each team up in a row.
Place all the objects listed above into the beach bags and give one to each team. Then place chairs a reasonable running distance in front of each team. The first runners dress in ALL of the items, run around the chair, return and take all of the items off again. The next player does the same, and so on until the entire team has had a turn.
Bobbing for Fish, Shells and Crabs
For this cool birthday party game, purchase several plastic fish, shells, and crabs and write the numbers 1, 2, or 3 on each of them. Then put them in a LARGE Plastic tub filled with water. Create three corresponding prize bags each one having the numbers 1, 2, or 3 on them and fill them with candy bars, gum, favors or other inexpensive items. Two players at a time hold their hands behind their backs and they must use their teeth to grab an item. They then collect a prize from the bag that matches the number on the item they caught.
Full Coconut
Split up into two teams. Give each team a hat filled up with leis, mini beach balls, toy fish (basically anything that can fit in the hat and is related to the Luau theme). Each team needs to get in a line and they have to go one at a time with the filled hat on their head (if something falls out they have to go back and start over). They have to go to the end around an inflatable palm tree (with the hat still on of course) do a hula dance and then go back to the end of the line giving the filled-up-hat to the next person. The team that gets done first wins. You can give out cheap but great prizes, have fun!
Hula-Hoop Contest
Kids'll get a whirl out of these! Hand out hoops to everyone and let them practice. Then take two kids and have them hula hoop against each other. Then pose the challenge to two other kids. Once everyone has had a chance, have the winners of the first round face off against each other, and so on, until there's a hula hoop champ.
Erupting Volcano
Aloha Party Games
First you need to make a volcano made of sand or dirt inside some kind of large container (like a baby bathtub) or a sandbox. You should wet the sand or dirt so that the volcano will be really big and dig a deep hole inside. Beforehand, prepare a bottle of vinegar and dye it with red food coloring. Give each kid a plastic cup filled with baking soda. Let one of the kids pour the baking soda into the volcano and then add the red vinegar over the baking soda. This creates and awesome eruption with lava spewing all over the place! (Tip: Have extra baking soda and vinegar on hand – the kids usually want to do it again and again!! Also, check out this page we created showing how to create a cool erupting volcano.
Hang Ten Poses Birthday Party Game
Aloha Party Ideas For Adults
Have everyone's photo taken while they strike a dramatic surfing pose! To set the stage, put on some inspiring music, then spread a blue tarp or blanket on the ground, and then a surfboard (or a folded-up ironing board) on top of it. Guests can then take turns 'riding' the board while you snap photos of them to add to their favor packs, or send with thank-you notes.
Pass the Coconut
Play the classic game of 'hot potato', but with a coconut. The players sit in a circle with one player holding a coconut. The music (a Hawaiian tune or music from the Lilo and Stitch soundtrack) begins and the coconut is passed around the circle until the music stops. The player holding the coconut when the music stops is out. The music begins again and the playing continues until there is only one player left.
Limbo
There's one game that's an absolute must for your luau party, Limbo! See how low your guests can go.
'How low can you go?'…. A limbo contest is a natural at any Hawaiian, Luau party. Set up a bar that can be raised or lowered, or have two people hold the bar. Play some Lilo and Stich or Hawaiian music in the background and have everyone take a turn going under the bar.
Aloha Party Ideas
Everyone must go under the bar facing forward and leaning back! This is one of the harder birthday games, but the lower the pole is lowered the harder everyone laughs! You can also do this under a stream of water from a hose or try having a flashlight limbo game, where you turn of all the lights and use a flashlight as your limbo stick.
Frozen Kiwi
This can be quite a funny and simple Lilo & Stitch birthday party game. First off, freeze two kiwi fruits. Then divide the group into two teams, having each team stand in a row, and see which team can pass the frozen kiwi (under the chin) the fastest!
Pin the Coconut on the Tree
Just like ‘pin that tail on the donkey', same rules apply. Just make a Palm tree out of cardboard and paint, and add two coconuts (made out of cardboard near the top) and leave a space between them. The kids have three cut-out Coconuts that have a tick-tac on the back… They just have to get it as close as they can… Make sure that you make you tree the right size for the kids. It comes in hand to have a child with you while you're making it to make sure its not too big or small…
Hot Coconut
Just like hot potato but with a COCONUT! Have all the kids stand in a circle with Hawaiian music playing (and with Hawaiian skirts on). They pass around a coconut, and whenever the music stops, the person holding the coconut is out. Play this until you have only one person left who is the winner. Have someone responsible for turning on and off the music.
Musical Hula Hoops
Place hula hoops on the ground in a circle. Play Lilo and stitch music as the children go around the hula hoops (like musical chairs) when the music stops they grab a hula hoop and start hula hooping. The first one who stops is out and the hula hoop is taken away. Then go again until you are down to two hula hoops. For a larger group you can start with one less hula hoop, so the person without one is out and then also do the hula hooping contest to get another person out.
