Pinatas
and the game explained
For
many many years, people in Mexico have been using Piñatas
(pronounced pin-yah-taws) for almost every occasion. They are
now so popular you could call it a tradition.
A
Piñata is a hand made Papier-mâché/cardboard
model which can be filled with sweets, balloons, small toys,
in fact just about anything of your choice.
The
idea of the game is to fill and suspend the Piñata by
a rope and take turns to hit it with a buster. Each child gets
2 turns to try and break it open while blindfolded! (spin the
child around first to make it harder!). Once they have succeeded
in breaking it open, the Piñata will release it's contents
and then it's a mad dash for everyone to see how many goodies
they can pick up. The kids just love it and so do the parents!
Piñatas
are approximately 18-24 inches high by 18-24 inches across, they
are a definite "Party HIT" for any occasion and don't
forget to buy the buster, blindfold and fillers!
Pull
Pinatas and the game explained
'Pull
Pinatas' are a great alternative to the Piñata, the game is exactly
the same but instead of hitting the 'Pull Piñata' with a 'buster',
each child takes a turn in pulling one of the ribbons hanging
down from the 'Pull Piñata'. If the child is lucky then the ribbon
they pull will be the one that releases the contents!
Due
to the fact that the first ribbon pulled might be the one to
release all the contents we suggest you have each child take
hold of a ribbon and they all pull together. |
