Birthday Piñata
Piñatas are a fun tradition for children's birthdays to be part of the celebration, while playing and getting candy once you break it. Piñatas can be also part of other celebrations such as Christmas. For birthdays Piñatas, the design usually goes along with the party theme. Picture the scene such as kids waiting around the Piñata for their turn to hit it. For each kid turn everyone has to sing a song, that determines the time you have to hit the Piñata:"Dale, dale, dale, no pierdas el tino, porque si lo pierdes, pierdes el camino. Uno, dos, tres." Something like: "Hit it, hit it, hit it, don't lose your aim, because if you lose it, you lose your way. One, two, three."Usually when there is a significant gap in ages, the older kids tend to use too much force or break the piñata too early. So with those kids the moms sing in x2 speed which is funny but fair. Piñatas are built to last enough for a lot of kids to participate in. Sometimes adults have to chip in and break it to get to the candy. It is common for adults to hit the Piñatas during the Christmas celebrations.*The picture is from my birthday in 2003 but I'm not in the picture.
