During your party

Play a CD featuring music representing another culture.
You can find this in the world music section of your local music store.

Welcome each guest.
Share a little bit about the theme. Tell how excited you are about WorldCrafts and the artisans represented.

Have a share time.
Ask any enlisted presenters or attendees to share about their trips. Invite guests to participate or share about their experiences.

Take an activity break.
Use the suggested activities or dream up your own. Award products to the winners as you choose.
