Puili sticks are normally made from bamboo and used in Hawaii, Tahiti, and other Polynesian islands. You could make your own with paper towel rolls. (Cut slits a third of the way down each tube. Optional: Have students decorate their own.) You could also use rhythm sticks.
I adapted the dance steps from a traditional dance I found online. (Download available below.)
