Q. things to do (fun stuff/games/theme) at bday party for 70 yr male young at heart, likes jazz ideas/suggestions
A. I would make it a 'Jazz Club' theme then everyone could dress up in 'evening' clothes. Use his favourite colours for the decor and table cloth's, serviette's/napkin's, if using paper or plastic plates etc.
I know this may sound childish, however, I can remember my Uncle's and Aunties and their friends playing 'Musical Chairs' when they had parties in the 50's. You can use one of his favourite songs as the tune and sometimes to have a game like this really melts the ice as everyone of every age has played it at a party and loved it. Of course you must have a prize for the winner. You can also do a form of pass the parcel as to when people arrive they have to wrap the parcel, this has people looking for the last one who has just arrived, quick introduction method. Then once it has been wrapped it is then passed around again for the guests to unwrap one layer and then find someone they have not spoken to and give it to them to unwrap next layer and so on. Last layer of paper is to be taken off by the birthday 'boy' where he receives a gift. This can be an all day sucker/lollypop or some other 'nonsense gift. Or, it can be something for him to keep eg Keyring with birthdate on it.
You may be able to find a site that shows what games were popular when he was in his twenties or so.
Young at heart? Well if it is a healthy heart, no reason why a stripper can not be included in the latter part of the night celebrations.
I am sure he will enjoy whatever you plan.
Good luck
