Luau Activities for the Primary Classroom

luau timeIt’s Tiki Time and we had a week packed full of Luau activities from Musical Limbo to a hoola dancing contest. The kids had a blast with our Hawaiian themed photo booth and even decided to pose like surfers!

Are you wondering how to make your own Hawaiian Photo Booth? Well here is what you need:

  • One dark blue plastic tablecloth and one light blue plastic tablecloth
  • One grass skirt, Different colored leis, and luau decorations
  • Skim Board or Child’s surf board

Tap up the dark blue tablecloth to the wall and push a small table underneath. Cover the table with the light blue tablecloth and place skim board on top. Have children dress up in Hawaiian clothes and pose on the board. Take their picture. You can add the year and “Aloha” in Microsoft PowerPoint!

Luau Art Activity: Making LeisIMG_0062Start by prepping your materials (colored straws cut into pieces, color flowers cut from a lei, yarn cut in the size of necklaces or bracelets, neon colored beads). IMG_0067Let the kids create their own jewelry to wear for your Luau party. This activity helps with fine motor skills and motor control plus the kids love making anything they can wear!IMG_0072

What is your favorite Luau activity to do with your students?
