You can decide beforehand whether party guests will play individually or on teams, and have '70s-themed prizes on hand for the winners.
1970s Charades
- Have everyone submit a song, movie, name or other phrase associated with the 1970s to set the stage for a themed charades game your party guests will love playing.

Costume Contest
- A must-have for any themed get together, a costume contest is sure to get the attention of every attending party guest, whether they are participating in the contest or not.
