Tropical Relay Race
Divide the group into two teams
Equipment: Two Grass skirts, 2 pairs of Bermuda shorts, 2 pairs of sunglasses 2 Straw Hats ,2 lei necklaces,2 Beach bags, 2 Beach chairs
Each team lines up in a row. Place chairs a reasonable running distance in front of each team or any distance your space will allow. The objects listed above are placed into the beach bags and located with each team. The first players on each team, put on ALL of the items, run to the chair, return to their team, remove the items and pass the bag to the next player. The next players continue until the entire team has
had a turn.
Bobbing for Seashells
Fill a large plastic tub with water. Purchase floating items; plastic fish, shells, pineapples, flip-flops... Before the party use a permanent marker to write either a 1,2,or 3 on each item. Items will be placed in the water
at game time. Make three prize bags filled with candy bars, gum, or other inexpensive items. Write 1, 2, or 3 on each bag.
Players hold their hands behind their backs and use their teeth to grab an item. They then collect a prize from the bag that matches the # on the item they caught.
Kit's Tip: This game can be played with any age group,
using simple variations on the same principle.
Tissue Flowers - remember the flowers you made as child.
Kids still enjoy making them today!
Materials needed for one flower:
4 sheets of 6"X6" tissue paper (multi color), 1 pipe cleaner
How to make a Tissue Flower:
1. Stack 4 pieces of tissue paper together. "Fan fold" the tissue paper using 1" folds. Fold back and forth until you have about a 1" X 6" piece. Cut both ends of your tissue strip to round the corners. Squeeze the tissue paper in the middle and twist the piper cleaner tightly to secure. Make a fan on both sides of the pipe cleaner. Gently pull up each of the four layers of tissue to make the flower petals.
Lei Necklaces -
You'll need: yarn, drinking straws and colored paper.
Before the party, cut 1" pieces from drinking straws and flowers from colored paper. Make a hole in the center of each flower using a hole punch. The children will bead their lei's alternating straws and flowers until it is the desired length.
Tip: Wrap a piece of tape around the end of the yarn for
easy beading.
Fruit Smoothies - The children will work together to make their own tropical drink. Suggested ingredients:
Mango juice, pineapple juice, orange juice, frozen banana pieces, frozen strawberries, mango pieces, pineapple, papaya, coconut...Place the items into a blender with ice and mix.
Top with whipped cream, cherry and a paper umbrella.
Sand Art Vases
You'll need: empty glass jars and colored sand (craft store), artificial flower. Fill the jars with sand one colored layer at
a time. Then insert the artificial flower.

Get a pinata, always goes down well.
What about a pinata you can get the colourful donkey type ones which look quite tropical.
I think that is enough, trust me they will be too busy talking.
You could buy some colorful beads and have them make necklaces and bracelets. Then they also have a keepsake to take home. Beading takes some time, it will take up at least 30-60 min.
You could make a coconut shy and offer prizes to the winners.
You can also buy tropical hula girl cut-outs (where you put your head through for photos) on the internet party sites for about ￡35.
Hula Hoop contest, bobbing for seashells, Musical beactowels, you could play charades with beach words. i.e. they have to act out surfing....shark....hula dancer. etc. or you could do the same thing with pictionary. Good Luck...sounds fun.
