How to Play the Pinata Party Game

THE PINATA GAME MUST ALWAYS BE PLAYED UNDER ADULT SUPERVISION!

Whether you are hosting an adult or kids indoor or outdoor party, the pinata party game is bound to be the highlight of the event. It’s a fun game for birthdays and a great party game idea for any other occasion as well. Normally, the traditional pinata game as described below is played as an outdoor party game but it can also be played at a garage, auditorium, or other indoor facility of appropriate size. If your party game area is limited to a small room, we suggest you look at our pull pinata indoor party game.



1. First, make sure you have everything needed to play the party game, such as a rope, a place from where to hang the pinata (such as a tree branch, a basketball hoop, two adults holding ends of a rope with a pinata hanging in middle, etc.), pinata candy and/or toy stuffers (can include large confetti), a pinata buster stick and blindfolds for the participants.

2. Fill the pinata with the goodies before guests arrive at the party, so that they won't know what surprises are inside. This gives the kids an element of surprise for the game ahead.

3. Before the party game begins, you may use the pinata as a festive centerpiece. When you’re ready to begin playing, take the pinata and hang it from the designated place in the party game area.

4. Organize the kids in a line, starting with the smallest one all the way to the tallest one. If the boy or girl is very young, they won't require a blindfold. Traditionally, children over 3 years old are blindfolded, then spun around a few times, provided with the pinata buster stick and let loose to play the party game by hitting the pinata.

5. For safety's sake, while a child is hitting the pinata during the game, all other children must be kept away (a minimum 15' radius is recommended) from the hitter. Furthermore, the child should have completely ceased to hit the pinata before you allow the other children to go grab the goodies spilled on floor. This safety instruction is of utmost importance and cannot be emphasized enough.

6. Allow each child to hit the pinata at least a couple of times before you move on to the next child.

7. To make the pinata party game even more fun, the pinata must be swung up and down, and guests must be encouraged to misdirect the pinata hitter (if the pinata is down, tell the hitter the pinata is up, etc).

8. You may also want to throw candy with your hands while the pinata is being hit. To make sure that all kids have fun, make sure that all children have gotten some candy at the end of the game.

Note: Be sure to place your order for pinata fillers, pinata busters and blindfolds at time you place your pinata order. When planning your kid’s birthday party, and to insure the child’s birthday party turns out to be fun for boys and girls attending, it is of extreme importance to check your checklist to make sure all party supplies and game supplies are available.

In conclusion, pinatas are the most obvious and fun birthday party game idea that is available today. The party game is equally fun for boys and girls. When properly executed, this outdoor or indoor birthday party game idea will absolutely be the highlight of the party and memories of the game will bring many smiles for many years to come for both children and adults.

Many parents prefer a pull-version of the game for younger children or for an indoor birthday party. For instructions on how to play the pull pinata game, please click here.

Sugar Cookies with a surprise inside

 

Why stop at the candy inside? Make the whole piñata worth fighting for!

These multi-striped, burro piñata sugar cookies come complete with hollow centers that you can fill with a secret stash of your favorite candies. Break open or bite into these festive treats and be greeted with a sugary surprise. Olé!

Ingredients:

• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup butter
• 1 cup vegetable oil
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon cream of tartar
• 1 teaspoon salt

• 1 teaspoon almond extract
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 5 cups flour
• 1 tablespoon vanilla
• Mini M&M candies
• 1/2 cup powdered sugar (frosting)
• 2 teaspoons milk (frosting)

Directions to make piñata sugar cookies:

1

Make the dough

Cream sugars with butter. Beat in eggs. Add oil. Combine dry ingredients together, and then gradually add them to the mixture. Mix in vanilla and almond extract.

2

Color the dough

Split dough into five, even-sized balls and one smaller ball (this will be the black one). Add food coloring to each of the dough balls until desired color is achieved. Gel food coloring gives you more intense colors than liquid.

3

Layer the dough

Use a container the same approximate width of your donkey/burro piñata cookie cutter, and line it with plastic food wrap. Split all of your colored dough balls in half (except the black) and begin layering the dough in the container, starting with the black dough on the bottom. Alternate the colors so that you end up with two layers of each color by the time you're done.

4

Wait

Cover the layered dough and freeze for four hours or overnight. This is the perfect time to conserve your creative juices for what lies ahead.

5

Bake the cookies

Remove the dough from the container and unwrap from the plastic. Cut slices, approximately 1/4-inch wide. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake them at 350 degrees F for 12 minutes.

6

Cut the cookies

Immediately after you take them out of the oven, use your burro piñata cookie cutter to cut the cookie shapes. Working in sets of three, be sure to cut two burro piñata cookies in one direction and one burro piñata cookie in the opposite direction. (Just flip your cookie cutter over.) That way, when you go to assemble them, the finished cookie will look "pretty" on both sides -- because the baked, bottom sides will be hidden.

7

Create the hidden pocket

For the middle cookies in each set, cut off the ears and legs, and cut out the center where the M&Ms will go. I used a small square cutter, and made three cuts to get a narrow rectangle. Try to work quickly, because as the cookies cool, they are more likely to crumble or break. Let them cool on the baking sheet before you move them and remove the excess, outer cookie.

8

Assembling the piñata cookies

To assemble, take the first piñata cookie and lay it upside down so that the baked bottom is facing up. Outline the center of the piñata body with a "frosting glue" mixture of milk and powdered sugar. (I used 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and two teaspoons of milk. If you put it inside a Ziploc bag and cut off a tiny tip of the bag's corner, you can pipe it onto the cookie easily.)
Put the middle cookie on top of the frosting glue and add the M&Ms to the open center. Put another outline of frosting glue on the middle cookie and place the opposite-cut piñata cookie on top (so that the pretty side is facing out). Let these sit and harden for at least 30 minutes before you stand them upright.

Show off your finished piñata cookie

This recipe will make six to eight piñata cookies.
