Music: dances, instruments, etc.
Occupations

Activities
make food to eat and share
go to a local, cultural festival/event
try reading a familiar baby-type book in another language
listen to multi-cultural songs

play a geography game or puzzle--where's waldo/facts (picture facts for famous monuments, language facts, etc.)
Dress up?
International Puppets and/or flags?
have quick sheets for each country and show and tell something from each
