Hawaiian Luau
Location

| |
Choosing the location for the party is one of the first steps in planning a Hawaiian Luau.
A Hawaiian Luau party can be held at the beach, at a pool and if you're creative, can be
held in a backyard without a pool.

Games
|
- Hula Hoop Contest
-
A Hawaiian Luau would not be complete without a hula hoop contest. Award a prize to the guest who can hula hoop the longest.
- Beach Pail Ping Pong
-
The guest who bounces the most ping pong balls into the beach pails wins. Line up several different size beach pails.
Put a layer of sand in the bottom of each pail to prevent the ping pong ball from bouncing out of the pail. Each guest
must stand back from the beach pails and bounce the ping pong ball at least once and try to get the ping pong balls into
the pails.
