GAMES/ACTIVITIES: 1) start off with an icebreaker activity. Sit around in a circle and introduce yourself. Also confess to the other guests your favorite joke, why you would love to go to Hawaii, and something you admire in the birthday girl. By the time the last person has confessed, the guests should be all smiles and anticipation. 2) Try an easy craft to start them off. Supply fresh, silk or cloth flowers, a variety of colorful beads and charms, glitter, sequins, glue, fishing line, and pipe cleaners. Each guest can make a Hawaiian headband or necklace, it's their call. It might be a quickie activity or a prolonged one depending on how much the crafters talk and joke in-between. It really doesn't matter. They might need some help, but it's not likely they'll need supervision, which leaves guardians free to check on the food and take a break. 3) Rent an instruction video on the Hula. Play it over and over so everyone gets a chance to learn some basic moves. It's really a story to be told, so each girl can sculpt their own dance. It's an enlightening activity into another culture of music, dance, rhythm, and laughter in the tropics. 4) Right about now, the girls should be feeling antsy.
