Lilo and Stitch Party Games

Set-Up:

Create an obstacle course in your play area.

Include section where players must crawl under “space lasers” (string taped low across two chairs).Hula hoops laid on the ground as “space portals” to jump through. Beach balls scattered around as “asteroids” that players must dodge or kick aside.

Designate a starting point and a finish line. Place the "Stitch" plush at the finish line inside the bucket or surrounded by the obstacles.

Play tropical or Hawaiian music in the background.

Supplies Needed:

Lilo and Stitch plush toy (or any stand-in for Stitch, like a stuffed alien or small blue ball).

Beach balls or inflatable planets (as obstacles).

Hula hoops (to simulate space portals).

Bucket or small net (to "trap" Stitch).

Blindfold (optional, for added difficulty).

Colorful cones or tape (to define the game area).

Tropical music (to enhance the vibe).

Small prizes for participants (optional).

Tips:

Adapt the Difficulty: For younger kids, keep obstacles simple (e.g., only stepping through hula hoops). For older kids or adults, increase complexity (e.g., blindfolding the player who retrieves Stitch, guided by teammates).

Incorporate Lilo and Stitch Themes: Decorate the course with tropical leaves, surfboards, or images of the characters.

Music Pause Challenge: Stop the music at random points, requiring players to freeze mid-course. If they move, they must restart that section.

Prize Ideas: Give small Stitch-themed prizes, like stickers or keychains, for participation or winning.

Supplies Needed:

Pool noodles in various colors, a sharp knife or serrated bread knife for pre-cutting noodles, twine or thin ribbon (approximately 3 feet per guest), scissors, and containers or bowls to organize supplies.

Optional: Beads for added decoration, faux flowers or craft leaves to mimic tropical foliage, markers, stickers, or paint pens for decorating noodle rings, Lilo and Stitch decorations to theme the workstation, an example lei for inspiration, and tablecloths for quick cleanup.

Set Up:

Prepare the Noodles: Before the party, cut the pool noodles into 2–3 inch rings. You can mix up the colors to make the leis vibrant and fun.

Organize Stations:Place the rings in large containers or bowls sorted by color.Arrange faux flowers, leaves, and optional beads in separate containers.Set out twine or ribbon pre-cut into necklace lengths (around 3 feet).

Decorate the Area: Create a fun, tropical vibe with Lilo and Stitch decorations, like palm leaves, tiki torches (flameless if indoors), and themed tablecloths.

Demonstration Station: Have an example lei on display so guests can see how to string the rings together.

TIPS:

Safety First: Pre-cut the pool noodles before the party to avoid safety concerns with knives during the event.

Add Themed Flair: Offer small Lilo and Stitch character charms or stickers to add to the leis.

Encourage Creativity: Have guests name their lei designs or tell a story about the colors they chose, tying it to the Hawaiian spirit of storytelling.

Photo Opportunity: Set up a tropical photo booth nearby where guests can show off their finished leis.

Quick Cleanup: Use disposable tablecloths to catch stray pieces of twine or noodle bits for easy cleanup.

Bonus Ideas

Lei Contest: Hold a contest for the "Most Creative Lei" or "Best Stitch-Inspired Design," with small prizes like Lilo and Stitch stickers, mini plushies, or tropical candies.

Interactive Story: Explain the significance of leis in Hawaiian culture and how they symbolize love, friendship, and celebration, tying it to the theme of ohana ("family").

This expanded version of the lei-making activity will give guests a hands-on creative outlet, enhance the tropical atmosphere, and provide them with a lasting memory of the party!

Supplies Needed

A Stitch toy, doll, or a similar small object to represent Stitch.

Space for children to sit comfortably on the floor.

Small prizes for correct guesses (optional).

Set-Up

Have all the children sit in a circle on the floor with their legs crossed. Choose one child to be "Agent Pleakley," who will sit outside the circle with their back to the group. Make sure the children in the circle are close enough for the Stitch toy to be easily hidden among them.

Tips

To keep things fair, encourage the children to stay still and maintain straight faces while Stitch is being hidden.

For younger children or smaller groups, limit the number of guesses to two instead of three.

Add a competitive twist by keeping score: whoever guesses correctly the most times wins a grand prize at the end of the game. This variation on a classic guessing game brings a playful Lilo & Stitch twist that’s sure to entertain kids at your party!

Supplies Needed:

• Cheap flip-flops (1–2 pairs for everyone to share).
• A hula hoop.
• String or rope to hang the hula hoop.
• Small prizes for winners (optional).

Set-Up:

1. Hang the hula hoop from a tree branch or other sturdy structure using string or rope. The hoop should hang at a height that is challenging but achievable for your players.
2. Mark a line on the ground a few feet away from the hoop—this is where players will stand to take their turns.

Tip:

• Adjust the distance of the line or the height of the hoop depending on the age group.
• Younger kids may need the hoop closer or lower, while older kids and adults can be challenged with a higher or farther hoop.
• To keep things light and easy, you can reuse the flip-flops between players to cut costs.

Supplies Needed:

• Paper and crayons/markers/colored pencils (for drawing option).
• Playdough in assorted colors (for crafting option).
• Optional decorations: googly eyes, pipe cleaners, craft sticks, glitter glue, or beads.
• Prompts written on cards or a poster: Name, Special Ability, and Place They Truly Belong.
• A small table or area for display if desired.

Set-Up:

1. Set up a crafting station with paper and art supplies or playdough and decorations.
2. Divide the space into sections if you'd like to offer both options (drawing and crafting).
3. Write the prompts (Name, Special Ability, Place They Truly Belong) on a large piece of paper or chalkboard for everyone to see and reference.

Tips:

• For added fun, you can create a "Hall of Experiments" where all the kids’ creations are displayed during the party.
• You could even take a group photo with everyone holding their experiments!
• If you’re short on time, let them choose between drawing or crafting, and keep the materials simple to minimize clean-up.

Supplies Needed:

• A beach towel for each child (to act as their surfboard).
• Energetic surf music (e.g., the "Lilo & Stitch" soundtrack or any surf rock).
• A speaker or music player.
• Small prizes for the winner (optional).

Set-Up:

1. Lay out an open play area, preferably indoors on carpet or outside on grass.
2. Provide each guest with a towel and ask them to spread it on the ground as their "surfboard."
3. Ensure everyone has enough room to move around without bumping into each other.

Tips:

• To keep kids engaged, offer small rewards like stickers, leis, or candies for participation.
• For younger children, keep the game lighthearted and let everyone “win” at least one round.
• This game works especially well outside, where the kids can have plenty of space to move around and play!

Supplies Needed:

• One coconut.
• One pineapple.
• Drink umbrellas (one per player, with their names written on them).

Set-Up:

1. Place the pineapple in the middle of the yard or playing area.
2. Clear a flat space around it to allow for rolling the coconut.
3. Assign each player a drink umbrella and write their name on it to use as a marker.
4. Create a starting line a few feet away from the pineapple where players will roll the coconut.

Tips:

• Make adjustments to the distance between the starting line and the pineapple based on the age group.
• For younger kids, set the line closer for easier rolls. For added fun, let the winner take home the pineapple as their prize!
• You can also decorate the game area with tropical-themed props like leis or tiki torches to enhance the party atmosphere.

Supplies Needed:

• 16 balloons.
• 16 index cards.
• Marker to write the letters on the index cards.
• Prizes (optional, like cake, ice cream, or small trinkets).

Set-Up:

1. Write one letter from the phrase "OHANA MEANS FAMILY" on each index card.
2. Place one card inside each balloon before inflating them.
3. Scatter the balloons around a designated play area, either indoors or outdoors.
4. If working with younger kids, consider using slightly larger balloons to make popping easier.

Tips:

• Make sure to provide a safe popping zone to avoid any accidents.
• Keep extra balloons handy in case of early pops during set-up.
• If noise is a concern, you can encourage quieter popping methods like squeezing rather than stomping.
• To keep the party’s Hawaiian vibe, use brightly colored or tropical-themed balloons.

Supplies Needed:

• A large bucket or tub filled with water.
• Small nautical toys (e.g., plastic fish, boats, seashells, or ocean animals).
• Non-ocean items (e.g., spoon, apple, army man, dice, etc.).
• Blindfold.
• Small prizes for correct guesses (optional).

Set-Up:

1. Fill a large bucket or tub with water and place all the items inside, mixing them evenly.
2. Set up the bucket outdoors to avoid messes.
3. Optionally, add a bit of blue food coloring to the water to make it look more "ocean-like."
4. Lay out a towel nearby for players to dry their hands after their turn.

Tips:

• To make it more challenging for older kids, add more non-ocean-related items and reduce the number of ocean items.
• For younger children, include more ocean items and keep the guesses simple.
• Turn this into a team game where groups compete to identify the most correct items within a set time.

Supplies Needed:

• One hula hoop per player (these can double as party favors) I've included an amazon link for some good deals on these next to the game title.
• A music player or speaker for Hawaiian-themed tunes.
• Small prizes (optional, such as stickers, leis, or themed trinkets).

Set-Up:

1. Place all the hula hoops on the ground in a large circle, close enough together for players to walk around comfortably.
2. Make sure there’s one hoop per participant. Choose a clear, open area so players have enough space to hula hoop safely.

Tip:

• For younger children or beginners, consider giving extra encouragement or allowing practice time before starting the game.
• If hula hooping proves too tricky for the group, adjust the rules so the game becomes about quickly grabbing a hula hoop when the music stops, with the slowest player stepping out.
• Keep the energy fun and lighthearted, and the music lively to match the tropical party theme!

Supplies Needed:

• Boxes (one per child or per team of two, depending on the number of guests; medium-sized, such as shoeboxes or similar).
• Construction paper, paint, glitter, markers, stickers, scissors, glue sticks, and tape.
• Duct tape or strong packing tape (for assembling the final totem).
• Optional: Hawaiian totem reference images or a quick lesson/story to share during the activity.
• Camera or phone to take pictures.

Set-Up:

1. Before the party, gather and prepare the boxes.
2. Make sure all boxes are roughly the same size to ensure the final totem stacks evenly.
3. Set up a crafting station with all the supplies organized and easily accessible.
4. If outdoors, use a large table or picnic area; if indoors, spread out craft supplies on tables or the floor, adding a disposable tablecloth for easy clean-up.

Tips:

• To make the activity more structured, set a timer for decorating (e.g., 20 minutes) and provide specific themes or inspirations for the designs.
• If you want to avoid messy paint and glitter, stick to markers, stickers, and pre-cut construction paper.
• For younger kids, you can pre-cut shapes (e.g., eyes, mouths, patterns) to simplify the process.
• Send each family a copy of their child’s picture with the totem as a keepsake.
