<p>Party games can make a party much more exciting and sociable. They can be an excuse to help people in the party to socialize and get to know each other better and are a good idea to be played and make a more enjoyable party. Besides if these party games are fun and are specially tailored for the different kind of parties that are being held they can make a fabulous party.</p>
<p>So in a theme party we would suggest to people to come with an appropriate and original costume for the party but as well to play some party games related to the theme of the party.</p>
<p>Specially the kids, they will love to create their own costumes, hats, birthday cakes, pirate maps or any items related to their parties in advanced. Just with a little bit of patience and the help of their parents, kids can have a great time even before the party.</p>
<p>From my point of view it is pretty obvious that the Old Continent (Europe) needs to learn a bit about the New Continent (America) and specially the USA as this country seems to be more creative in making all sorts of theme parties. For example in the USA you will easily find 80&#8217;s ice-skating parties where you would go to the ice-skating court dressed as in the 80&#8217;s. I can tell this because I have seen pictures of my friends in the USA via facebook doing that kind of a party. In Europe I would like to see something like that.</p>
<p>I have seen my USA friends celebrating all kind of theme parties and I know that they celebrate super bowl parties and they play super bowl games too. However regarding the Champions League Soccer Final that takes place every year in some European soccer stadium which would be the equivalent in Europe to the American Super Bowl, I have never done anything special before, during or after watching the Champions League Final. People wear their favourite team t-shirts, cups, hold their team&#8217;s flags or surround themselves with the team&#8217;s scarf and gather with their friends to watch the game either in their flats, houses or in bars or pubs. If their team wins, they go on the street and go and celebrate it in most of the cases getting drunk but they do not play any party games before, during or after the Champions League Final, nor decorate their flat or house with anything in special nor eat any special food for the occasion. Food usually consists somehow or another of cheap snacks.</p>
<p>Whilst the Americans seem to be more eager and creative to make any kind of theme parties and to play related theme party games, the Europeans seem to have lost interest in this creativity because perhaps they are older countries that have developed for centuries their own traditions, own festivities that they celebrate in due time.</p>
<p>Moreover in the Old Continent people tend to live closer to their parents and relatives and families still are an important factor in their lives, so they tend to spend more time with their families than the average American (USA).</p>
<p>On the other hand the Old Continent has more stored up games to be played and stories and tells to be told than in the New Continent because for many centuries in the past people in Europe did not have TVs, game consoles, internet, etc. so they had to talk, tell stories, make up new games to enjoy and pass the time.</p>
<div id="attachment_86" class="wp-caption aligncenter" style="width: 310px"><a href="http://www.calvsa.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/1453997734_8f13152e5c_o.jpg"><img class="size-medium wp-image-86" title="Party Games" src="http://www.calvsa.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/1453997734_8f13152e5c_o-300x199.jpg" alt="Party Games" width="300" height="199" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Party Games</p></div>
<p>So in the Old Continent we have lots of old stored up party games and stories that have been created for centuries (in the Roman times, Medieval Age, etc.) that would suit for our themed parties, but because of our own traditions, folklore, culture developed during centuries we seem to give less credit and importance to these stored up old games and to creativity to enjoy our parties and fellowship times together, though we spend more time with the family which is very positive instead.</p>
<p>Americans seem to be saying today: we don&#8217;t have as many traditions, folklore as in the Old continent, but we want to make the best of our time anyways. So there it is: they seem to be more creative when making theme parties or playing theme games.</p>
<p>A perfect combination to celebrate nice theme parties and to play nice party games would be to merge the creativity and enthusiasm of the Americans to prepare and create theme parties with the amount and quality of old games, tells, stories, legends of all kinds stored up during centuries that Europeans could take out of the old cupboard.</p>
