70's Party Games - Winding Back the Clock With a Disco Fever Party

Friday, March 23, 2007

The 1970’s were an era that most adults are old enough to remember, but would rather forget. Between lava lamps, fondue, disco music and the rest, though, there was plenty to like about the 70’s. Party games that encapsulate everything good about the 70’s are fantastic if you’re hosting a 70’s-themed party.

"FONDUE RELAY" 70'S PARTY GAME

Fondue was one of the biggest fads of the 70’s. Party games that pay tribute to this delicacy are loads of fun. Prior to the party, prepare a large pot of fondue (it doesn’t have to be authentic – making it in a sauce-pan is fine!) and divide it among several bowls, one for each team. Also cut some crusty bread into chunks, dividing it equally between several plates, again one per team. Players divide into teams of equal numbers, take a plastic fork each and stand behind the starting line. The object of this 70's party game is to run to the fondue bowl, dip and eat a chunk of bread, run back and tag the next member of your team. This continues until all the bread on your plate has been eaten. The first team to clear their plate is the winner of this 70's party game.

"DISCO DANCE-OFF" 70'S PARTY GAMES

When it comes to 70’s party games, disco music is a must. All party guests gather on the dance-floor in this 70's party game, with one or two acting as “judges”. Remaining guests must dance one of The Hustle, The Bus Stop or The Nutbush (the birthday boy/girl chooses). Guests can have one practice run if desired, but from then on as soon as they make a mistake (if spotted by the “judges”) they must leave the dance-floor; the last person standing is the winner of this great 70's party game.
