Pāʻani Hawaiʻi (Hawaiian: Pāʻani Hawaiʻi, also anglicized as "Paani Hawaii") or Pāʻani for short, are Hawaiian play, games, and contests. Most pāʻani Hawaiʻi place pertinence on language and chanting as part of the pāʻani, excepting only lele koali (Hawaiian: kowali), a Hawaiian swinging game based around either a koali vine or a koali hao (metal chain). Manaleo “Aunty” Alice in her Ka Leo Hawaiʻi interview stated that an exchange of words and play spans either a few days or a whole week during lele koali.[1][2] During this time, everybody gathers to socialize, tell stories, play music, and share meals.[1] Pāʻani Hawaiʻi has been compared in anthropological study to Japanese games.[3]
