Learning about foreign cultures through dress up games


Learning about foreign cultures through dress up games 

We may love travelling around the world to know more about other cultures in the world. You wonder what they eat, how they wear, when they celebrate their own holidays and so on. When you have chance to go to those places, you can experience the cultures yourself. You can have many stories to tell your friends, and even buy souvenirs for them. You would be the luckiest person to have good chances like that.

If you cannot travel, because sometimes travelling cost a lot of money, you can think of watching films, maybe documentary films or dramas. Through the contexts situations of the films, you can imagine what happen in real life, not just the present days, films can also track back to old days, when the cultures are not only varied between regions, they also differentiate through periods of time.


The problem of films is sometimes they do not keep the facts completely but dramatize them. Or sometimes by the stories in the films, you are distracted from viewing the cultural aspect in them. In the end, you want to rewind the stage and see the film more clearly but it is difficult to do this.

You can buy magazines or books, a great source of useful information. But it does not take effect in every instance. For people who are not very patient, they will easily put the books down at the middle. Or for young children, they have not learnt to read, there is no point in teaching them about cultures in this way. 

Surprisingly, everyone can try dress up games, which can present some feature aspects of culture. The most visible everyone can realize is the chance to learn about clothes and costumes in these games. Surfing around in a dress up games website, you can enjoy different dress up style, you will distinguish between Romanian traditional customs and Japanese one because the Romanian girl will obviously wear differently from a Japanese girl. Similarly, through game Fashion Ukrainian Girl, you can be given different taste and impression than a modern and dynamic American girl in a catwalk show.

Dress up games usually include in them music which are played along with the theme of the game. You can hear the sound and tone of the music change from a game to another. That, after all, reflects the diverse cultural matters.

In games, players can see some particular traditional events that show particular cultural characteristics. For example, in Christmas games or Thanks giving games, you may not only be required to make up and dress up the model, you may also have to arrange the room, decorate the tree or draw the eggs and wait for the special moment. Thus, you can have special feeling as if you were attending the real occasion at the game’s time. Another example is the farm games, in which you can experience the true working day like a real farmer, with farming outfits and agricultural equipments that look strange and not like what you see in your countries.
