Around the World Party Ideas

An around-the-world party is a creative way to teach others about different countries and cultures. A global-themed event makes a terrific background for a festive get-together. Does this Spark an idea?

Maps

Use old maps or tablecloths with map designs on them to cover tables.

Flags

Pierce your finger foods with flag toothpicks that represent different countries. Search online and print flags from all over the world to hang up.

Food

Serve foods that represent an international theme, including Japanese sushi, Italian meatballs or American sliders.

Globe

Give guests push pins they can use to pin their birthplaces on a globe. You often can find a secondhand globe at a thrift store.

Language Game

Play the language game. Choose a familiar word such as "hello" and have everyone share how many ways they can say it using other languages.

Cake

Serve a topographical cake with blue and green frosting to represent a part of the world. Try rounding it so it looks like half a globe.
