Can someone give me some ideas on fun games for a 7 year old girls birthday luau?

This party will have a mix of boys and girls. I have the jumper, pinata and goodie bags but would like some fun games for them to play. Any ideas?Can someone give me some ideas on fun games for a 7 year old girls birthday luau?
hula contest or make your own lei .
Make it as much like an original Hawaiian party as possible. You can do the dancing and limbo. You can have the kids make their own shis-ka-bobs (spelling sorry). You can have them make grass skirts and then learn the dance and perform. Girls LOVE dress up, so incorporating this into the party would be a blast for them. Mixing up fruity drinks would be fun for them as well.... a frozen fruit drink in a coconut shell would be fun.Can someone give me some ideas on fun games for a 7 year old girls birthday luau?
a little hawwian dance off... show them how to real fast then put the music on then they will dance... or maybe a pin-ya-da.... ummm... i am not sure what else sorry
Limbo

A great Luau party idea is playing limbo at your theme party. Dance to the rythm of our Luau party Cd and encourage everyone to do the limbo. Find next a fun variation of this party game.



Sea Limbo

This is an exciting Luau party idea especially good for children. Have kids play limbo by acting like different sea animals, for example, wiggle like a fish, walk like a crab, slide like an eel, etc.

Detective

Select one child to be "it" and cover her eyes or have her leave the room. The birthday child then gives an object (stuffed animal) to one child and all children pretend to hold something behind their backs. The child who is it gets 3 chances to guess who really has the object.

3-9 $0

Dodge Ball

Play dodge ball with a soft ball (beach balls work well... basketballs do not!). Place half the children on the outside of a circle and the other half inside the circle. The children on the outside try to hit the children inside the circle with the ball and if they do they trade places with the child and move to the inside of the circle. Remind children that only hits below the knees "count". 6-9 $0-2

Drawing Games



Select a child and secretly ask him/her to draw a specified object on an easel pad or a large piece of paper taped to a door, fence or other vertical surface. Specify easy objects for younger children (cat, sun, ball, etc.) and more difficult objects for older children (sunset, bulldozer, ear of corn, etc.). As the child draws, the other children try to guess the object. The child who guesses first, becomes the drawer for the next round.



Have children lay down on large pieces of paper and trace around their bodies with a pencil. Have each child color her silhouette to look like him (hair, eyes, clothes, etc.) and hang these on the wall or fence.

6-13+ $2-5

Duck Duck Goose

Play variations on this old favorite to fit your party theme, such as ghost, ghost, witch for a Halloween Party. 3-6 $0

Duck Pond

Float rubber ducks or other floating objects in a kiddie pool. Write numbers on the bottom and child receives a prize based on the number (example: 3 marbles or 3 stickers for a duck with a 3). 3-9 $0-20

Fishing Games

Tie a string to a wooden stick or pole and tie a magnet to the end of the string. Cut shapes (fish or another shape) out of paper and attach a paper clip to each shape. The magnet on the pole will attach the paperclip on the shape. Alternately, you can just put a paperclip on a sticker and the child gets to keep the sticker he/she "catches". 3-9 $2-10

Guessing Games

Put an object in a box, give clues, and have children take turns guessing what it is. For younger children put the object inside a pillowcase and let them feel it.



Play "who is the ghost?" One child leaves the room and one child in the room puts a sheet over his head. The child who comes back in the room tries to guess who the ghost is.



Give clues related to people or objects that tie in with the party them, such as famous baseball players (Baseball Party) or types of dinosaurs (Dinosaur Party) and have guests try to guess the correct answers.



Select "it" and have her leave the room. Then select a secret leader who makes motions (waves hands, winks, claps, etc.) that the other children in the room follow. "It" returns to the room and tries to figure out who is the secret leader.



For a birthday party you can have the gift givers provide hints and have the birthday child try to guess what's in a package.

3-9 $0-5

Gym Balls

Giant-sized rubber play balls make for fun soccer style games. Balls with handles (children sit and bounce on them) can be used for relay races. 3-9 $20

Hopscotch

Draw a hopscotch "course" that ties in with your party theme. Example: for a St. Patrick's Day Party draw a leprechaun in the start box, a pot of gold in the end box, a rainbow from one end to the other, and have children toss a gold coin on the course to play. 3-9 $0-2

Hot Potato

Have children sit in a circle and pass around an object (a stuffed animal works well) until a timer goes off. The child holding the object when the timer goes off is "the silly monkey" or whatever fun name ties in with your party theme or the object the children are passing. 3-9 $0-2

Jokes %26amp; Riddles

Buy a joke and riddle book. Write the riddles on individual pieces of paper and write the answers on separate pieces of paper. Give half the guests riddles and half answers and have them try to find their "match". Then have each group read their riddle and answer to the rest of the guests.



Check out Funology.com for jokes and riddles.

6-9 $2

Musical Chairs



A friendly variation on an old favorite... instead of pulling chairs from the circle and making kids sit out when they "lose", have enough chairs for each child, but decorate one special chair and whoever sits in that chair receives a special treat. If you don't have chairs, just make paper "spots" on the floor and make a special spot. Another variation is musical balloons where children throw balloons into the air until the music stops.

3-6 $0-2

Musical Gifts



For a birthday party have children sit in a circle and pass gifts until the music stops. The birthday child opens the gift he/she is holding when the music stops.

3-9 $3-7 (cost of favor bags)

Obstacle Course



Use items you already have to create an obstacle course. For example: children might need to crawl through a box, walk across a board, do a hula hoop, jump rope, ring a bell, etc. before they reach the finish line. Time each child with a stop watch and encourage her to try to beat her own time on the 2nd try (instead of worrying about the other children's times). Give ribbons or stickers to each child.

3-13+ $0-20

Parachute Play

Have children stand and hold the edges of a large blanket, place one stuffed animal or one lightweight ball in the middle of the blanket and have the children try to bounce it as high as they can, but without bouncing it off the blanket. Add more animals and balls to make it more challenging. 3-6 $0-5

Pinata



Buy or make a pinata and fill with treats. Hang pinata on rope that can be raised and lowered. Blind fold older children to make it more difficult. Pinata can be filled with loose treats and everyone scrambles to pick them up or filled with favor bags and everyone only gets one. If you're not crazy about kids swinging a stick around, try a pull string pinata.

3-12 $20

Pin the Tail



Customize the traditional pin the tail on the donkey game to fit your party theme. I've done pin the tail on the zebra for a Jungle Safari Party and pin the horn on the unicorn for a Wizard Party. Draw your own or use pictures from magazines, coloring books, or clip art programs and have these enlarged at a local copy center.

3-9 $3-15

Races



Design a silly race. Have children run as fast as they can with while doing something silly, such as holding a balloon between their knees, holding a spoon in their mouth with an egg balanced on the end, or balancing a stuffed animal on their heads. If they drop the object they have to start over.

3-12 $0-10

Relay Races



Similar to races above, but divide children into teams and have them transfer objects to their teammates. Racers could have to run backwards, jump rope, hula hoop, draw something, put on funny clothes, blow ping pong balls or balloons, or roll a ball with a broomstick.

3-12 $0-15

Scavenger Hunts

3-13+ $0

Shuffleboard



Play table top shuffle board. Have children slide coins to see who can get closest to the edge without falling off. Allow children to keep coins at the end of the game.

6-9 $0

Stomp Rockets



Buy a stomp rocket game for an outdoor party. Buy extra rockets... they tend to disappear.

String Surprise

Tag



Design a game of tag to tie in with your party theme, such as freeze tag for a winter party. Or include "bases" such as planets for a space party. Remember to state a 10 second time limit for the bases to give "it" a fair chance.

3-9 $0-2

Treasure Hunts



Have children follow clues, a map, or footprints, or arrows (made from sticks or small rocks) to find a special treat (favor bags or food). To make footprints, cut a stencil out of paper and then sprinkle flour inside the cutout area. Younger children can dig for treasure (coins, small plastic animals, etc.) in a sand box.

3-12 $3-20 depending on prizes

Tug of War



Fun if done on a hot summer day with a sprinkler in the middle, so the "losers" get wet.

6-13+ $0

Twister

Make or buy a "twister" game. Customize board to party theme with stickers. 6-13+ $20

Water Balloons



Divide children into two groups and have groups stand in a line about 3 feet from across from each other. Give the children on one side a water balloon and have them toss it to their teammate. After each successful through have the teammates take one step backwards so they are throwing farther each time. If their balloon breaks they have to start over 3 feet from each other.

6-13+ $2-5

Water Games

Have children splash or blow plastic boats or ping pong balls across a pool (kiddie or full size).



Have a raft stack game in a pool. Divide children into teams and see which team can get all their members on a raft first.



Sprinkler toys (we have a hilarious "wacky wiggler" that attaches to the end of a garden hose) . Slip-and-slides are fun, but make sure you've got enough flat, soft space in your yard.

6-13+ $2-30

Word Game



How many words can the group make out of the letters in the work Congratulations Graduate or Happy Birthday? Write original word or phrase on large piece of paper and write "formed" words underneath.

6-13+ $0-1

Word Scrambles

Make word scrambles out of words that tie in with your party theme. For example: "tanustora" is "astronaut" for a space party.



Word scrambles can also be found on the internet. Go to www.google.com and search on "animal word scramble" or whatever fits your party theme.

6-13+ $0.25-$1

Word Search

Make a giant word search on paper or drawn with chalk on the driveway and have the children work together to find all the words. Select words that tie in with the party theme like (Mars, alien, space shuttle, etc for a Space Party). Many word searches can be found on the internet. Go to www.google.com and search on "train word search" or whatever fits your party theme.Can someone give me some ideas on fun games for a 7 year old girls birthday luau?
