Pack Your Bags
1. Fill a suitcase with items from different countries, enough for all guests.
2. Divide the kids into two teams, and have them sit in two lines.
3. Open your suitcase, and tell the players you have just returned from a long trip around the word. Give each player an item.
4. To begin the game, the first person in line says the name and the country of origin of his or her item, and then passes the item to the next person in line. That person must the repeat the first item and country, then add his or her own, and pass both to the next person.
5. The team that finishes first wins the game.

Can You Say . . .?
1. Find a foreign traveler dictionary.
2. Choose a simple phrase, such as "Ou est les petit fours?" ("Where are the little cakes?")
3. Have the kids take turns reading the phrases (and acting them out if they need to) while the rest of the players try to guess the meaning.
4. The player who has the best guess for each phrase wins a prize.

Travel Puzzle
1. Glue two travel posters onto two pieces of stiff posterboard. Cut both posters into large puzzles pieces.
2. Divide the players into teams, have them race to assemble the puzzles and then name the location.
3. The team that finishes first and correctly names the location wins.
