Here are a few ways to get guests involved and excited. Send guests on a wayfinding adventure Create a treasure hunt with island-themed clues that guide guests through “the ocean,” “volcanoes,” and “jungle” stations (simple props like blue fabric, red paper cones, and artificial plants work well). At the end of the hunt, award each adventurer with a Heart of Te Fiti necklace or a small Moana figurine. See who can “Pin the Tail Feather on Hei Hei” We love this idea from Viva Veltoro! It’s a spin on the classic “Pin the Tail on the Donkey” game to fit a Moana party theme. Hei Hei is the hilariously clumsy rooster from the movie, which makes him perfect for some blindfolded bumbling fun. You can draw your own Hei Hei and tail feathers or print them online. “Pin the Tail on Hei Hei” — a game for a Moana-themed birthday party Set up a lei-making station Channel the island spirit with a lei-making station.
