Pinata Party

Type of Game: Birthday - Pinata Party

Equipment: Blindfold, Bat, Piñata, and Candy

Formation: Group

# of Players: 10+

Description: Make or buy a piñata. You can make or buy piñatas for almost any holiday including Christmas, Halloween, Valentines, Cinch de Mayo. Tie a rope to the piñata and hang from a tree branch.

The main idea is to have an adult be able to raise and lower the piñata using a rope. Blindfold the children one at a time letting them hit the piñata with a stick or plastic bat. To insure that every player gets a turn, line up players by age and only allow them 1 hit.

You will probably not want to blindfold the players that are under the age of 6 unless they look like a heavy hitter and everyone has not had a turn yet. If you are playing with older children the game can be lengthened by not only blindfolding the kids but turning them around three times to disorient them.
