me and my friends are throwing a luau themed 8th grade graduation party. what kinds of food, decorations, and activities should we do? This is what we have so far:

coconaut glasses
grass skirts
hawaiian shirts
tiki lamps
some type of hawaiian served pork
tropical fruits like pinapple
leis (flowery necklaces)
hawaiian music

any others? also what could we do, like activities?

the biggest staple of hawaiian food is poi - ground taro gunk - tastes weird. here's what i did. i got a big bowl of vanilla yogurt and colored it with black food coloring until it turned grayish. told everyone they had to try some - it's eaten with the fingers only. everyone tried and went "oh, that's not so bad". some even had seconds. lots of conversation about it. later, told them it was yogurt and had a laugh.
also got blue kool aid and made "blue hawaiians" without the liquor of course. just umbrellas and cherries added.
as for activities, you can always play "pass the fruit" use bananas, oranges, apples. people hold hands together behind their back - put fruit under chin, and have to pass fruit from one person to the next just using their head and neck.
